20-40 €Artisan tortellini in Bologna
Tortellini are small rings of egg pasta filled with meat, among the most recognizable symbols of the cuisine of Bologna and Emilia. The dough, rolled extremely thin, encloses a traditional filling made with pork, prosciutto crudo, mortadella, Parmigiano Reggiano, egg, and nutmeg. In Bolognese tradition they are mainly served in capon or hen broth, but freshly purchased artisan tortellini can also be taken home and cooked with other preparations. When they are handmade, each piece is slightly different and tells the story of the patient work of the sfogline, the artisans of fresh pasta.
