20-40 €Artisanal tortellini in Bologna
Tortellini are small rings of egg pasta filled with savory stuffing, one of the most recognizable symbols of the cuisine of Bologna and Emilia. The pasta sheet, rolled extremely thin, encloses a traditional filling made with pork, prosciutto crudo, mortadella, Parmigiano Reggiano, egg, and nutmeg. In Bolognese tradition they are served mainly in capon or hen broth, but fresh artisanal tortellini bought from a pasta shop can also be taken home and cooked in other preparations. When they are handmade, each piece is slightly different and reflects the patient work of the sfogline, the artisans of fresh pasta.
