Ingredients
FOR THE DOUGH
- Flour "00" or unbleached all-purpose flour- 1 cup
- Large eggs- 2
- Milk- 1/2 tsp.
FOR THE FILLING
- Uncooked ground chicken with spices of your choice ( I usually add Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and onion powder)-1/2 cup
Instructions
- Make Pasta Dough as described here: Homemade Pasta Dough.
- Work with one piece of dough at a time. On a floured working surface roll it to make a strip.
- Cut into 1 ½ inch/4 cm wide rectangles or circles.
- Place about 1/4 tsps. of ground chicken in the center of each circle/rectangle. I love to use a piping bag for this job.
- Fold the circle / square diagonally in half to form a half-moon/ triangle. Press the edges to seal, then bring together the corners, forming a ring. Lap one corner over the other, pressing firmly to seal. Transfer onto a clean, dry kitchen towel or floured board.
- Repeat the same with the remaining dough.
Cook fresh tortellini in a saucepan filled with hot boiling and slightly salted water in batches until they float to the top . Enjoy with Alfredo Sauce or freeze and use for Chicken Tortellini soup when needed.
