Ingredients for tortelli:

  • ‘0’ flour 150gr
  • Stone-ground Verna wheat flour 100gr
  • 3 Eggs
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt

  • Flour: 3 tablespoons
  • Milk 1l
  • Semi-mature PDO Tuscan Pecorino 100gr

Procedure:

In order to prepare tortelli filled with fava beans, pecorino and PGI Finocchiona, make a well with the two flours, break two eggs in the middle, add a tablespoon of oil, a bit of salt and start mixing the ingredients with a fork. Knead until you obtain a firm but elastic dough. Let it rest wrapped in a film for about 15 minutes.

For the filling: blend fava beans, pecorino and PGI Finocchiona in cubes, season according to your taste with salt and pepper, please consider that PGI Finocchiona is already savoury.

For tortelli: roll the dough in very thin layers and obtain (9cm) disks, using a round mould such as a coppapasta (dough cutter). Distribute one teaspoon of filling in the middle of each disk. Fold it so that you form a crescent, seal the edge and close it in a ring. Plunge tortelli in abundant salted and boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, drain and season them with sauce.
