CLASSIC MEAT TORTELLINI WITH TOMATO SAUCE
According to local legend in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, the birthplace of tortellini, the pasta's navel shape was inspired by the indescribable beauty of Venus's belly button. Keep that in mind as your roll, stuff and fold these little dumplings, whose recipe is adapted from the "true and authentic" version codified by the Confraternita del Tortellino and notarized by the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. While tortellini are traditionally served as a middle course in a light meat brodo, they'll make a fine main course when tossed with a simple tomato sauce and topped off with a light grating of Parmesan. This version yields enough for leftover pasta and sauce. Freeze them both separately when you're done for a comforting meal in the days and weeks to come. hen you're done for a comforting meal in the days and weeks to come.

Steps:
- Make the filling: Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large cast-iron pan set over medium-high heat. Crumble in ground beef and pork and reduce heat to medium. Using the edge of a metal spoon, break up clumps of meat as they form, stirring regularly. Once the meat is evenly broken up, continue to cook, stirring only occasionally, until all of the water has evaporated and the cooking sounds change from steaming to sizzling, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- As the meat begins to brown, clear a spot in the center of the pan and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic. Cook the garlic until it starts to release an aroma, about 20 seconds, then stir it into the meat and cook another 30 seconds or so. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine meat mixture, mortadella, Parmesan, parsley, nutmeg, cloves, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Pulse to combine, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Add eggs and pulse, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until the mixture is smooth and tacky. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble ravioli.
- Make the tomato sauce: Pour tomatoes and their juices into a medium bowl and use your hands to crush them. Pour 1/4 cup water into the can and swirl, then add to tomatoes. Set aside.
- Set a small Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. When it shimmers, add onion and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Move onions to the edges of the pot and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and allow it to gently sizzle, about 20 seconds. Before the garlic has a chance to start browning, stir it into the onions and add tomatoes. Season with salt and oregano or basil and bring to a hard simmer. Stir, then reduce heat to low and cover pot (to prevent splattering). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until raw tomato taste is gone. (Tomato sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.)
- Shape the tortellini: Place a sheet of pasta on your workspace and dust off any excess flour. One sheet at a time, cut the pasta into 2 1/2-inch squares, or use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the pasta sheets. As you cut or punch, stack and store the pieces under a lightly dampened dish towel or in a plastic bag to keep them from drying out.
- On a clean work counter, lay out about 15 pasta rounds or squares at a time, and spoon rounded teaspoonfuls of filling onto the pasta, just off center. Use a spray bottle or wet pastry brush to lightly dampen the edges of the pasta.
- One at a time, pick up a piece of pasta and fold in half over the filling, squeezing out air bubbles as you press the dough around the filling with dry fingers to seal the tortellino. If you're working with circles, you'll be left with a half-moon shape. If using squares, fold corner-to-corner to form a triangle.
- Holding a tortellino in one hand, use your other index finger to gently poke an indent into the center of its base (the bottom of the filling). Folding the tortellino around the indent, draw both of its bottom corners together as if forming a fortune cookie. Overlap the corners and press to seal them together.
- Toss lightly with semolina flour, then lay out in a single layer on the second prepared baking sheet. Continue with remaining pasta and filling.
- Finish the tomato sauce and cook the pasta: Set a large pot filled with 5 quarts of water over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Add 6 tablespoons fine sea salt or 1/2 cup kosher salt. Drop 48 tortellini into the water and stir.
- Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 1/4 cup olive oil. Pass sauce through a food mill or use a stick blender to puree. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Set a large frying pan with curved edges on the stove over low heat. Add 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
- When the tortellini are cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes, use a spider or skimmer to lift them out, shake off excess water, and place directly into the pan of sauce. Toss and swirl tortellini in sauce until they are all evenly covered. If the sauce is too thick, add pasta water 1 teaspoon at a time to loosen. The sauce should cling to the pasta without appearing to seize. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan.

CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY TOMATO AND SPINACH SAUCE
This is a copycat recipe from a local chain of restaurants. They took it off their menu, so I had to develop my own. It turned out so good, it might be just better than the original. Garnish with more basil and Parmesan.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top but skin is nearly soft, about 2 minutes. Drain well.
- Slice sun-dried tomatoes thinly. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved tomato oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet; saute until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in sun-dried tomatoes, diced tomatoes, cream, and white wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet, and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a separate dish. Add spinach and basil to the skillet and stir. Increase heat slightly and boil until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Return chicken and cooked tortellini to skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

CHICKEN TORTELLINI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
I've only made this once but it came out wonderfully. The dough is a bit labor intensive but well worth the work. I added the mushroom sauce I like but you can obviously use any you want including store bought or whatever. I hope you enjoy this if you try it.

Steps:
- Combine flour and 1/4 tsp salt and lay out on countertop or pastry board.

Steps:
- Place porcini mushrooms in 2-cup measuring cup; add enough hot water to measure 2 cups. Let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Coarsely chop porcini mushrooms.
- Cook tortellini in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sautée until golden and tender, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and 3 teaspoons thyme; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup mushroom soaking liquid and cream; boil until thickened to light sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Drain tortellini; return to same pot. Add mushroom mixture and toss to coat. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer tortellini to bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 teaspoon thyme.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese will give your sauce the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the tortellini al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the pasta being cooked to a slightly firm texture.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: A good quality Parmesan cheese will have a rich, nutty flavor that will really elevate the sauce.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made, while the sauce is still hot and the tortellini is still al dente.
