Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus 1/2 cup for filling
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten, plus 2 eggs for pasta and filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- peanut oil, for deep frying
- 1 (16 oz) package fresh pasta sheets
- nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh goat cheese, softened
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 jar prepared marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Mix together ricotta cheese, goat cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1 egg, black pepper and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg in a bowl.
- Lay out the pasta sheets on a lightly floured surface. With a pizza cutter or sharp knife cut the sheets up to make 2 by 2-inch squares of dough. Place about 2 teaspoons of the cheese filling in the center of each square. Beat 1 egg and lightly brush around circumference of the dough. Fold each square in half diagonally to make a triangle around the filling. Press out any air from the center so that the dough is fit smoothly around the filling. Wrap the triangle around your index finger and press the tips together. The third point of the triangle should fold forward to make the proper tortellini shape. Place the finished tortellini on a lightly floured baking sheet.
- Cook the fresh tortellini in a large pot of simmering water for about 3 minutes or until they float. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
