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.

Notes

I found that it is very handy to put the filling using a piping bag.
