TORTELLINI IN PARMESAN BRODO

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Parmesan rinds
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 head garlic, halved across the equator
1 onion, halved
4 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt, plus for pasta water
1 pound spinach pasta tortellini (spinach pasta filled with cheese)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To a large saucepan, combine the Parmesan rinds, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and salt. Add 8 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the broth for 1 hour 15 minutes, adjusting the heat to maintain a simmer and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Strain into a clean saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, about 4 minutes. Drain well, then add the tortellini to the broth to finish cooking. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect tortellini dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Semolina flour gives the dough a slightly chewy texture.
  • Make sure the broth is simmering before adding the tortellini. This will help prevent the tortellini from sticking together.
  • Cook the tortellini until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Garnish the tortellini with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
  • Serve the tortellini immediately, while they are still hot.

Tortellini in Parmesan Brodo is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
