Ricotta Tortellini

Ingredients for Ricotta Tortellini

• 575g whole-milk ricotta

• 2/3 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan

• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

• 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt

• 250g plain flour

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt plus more

• 1 large egg white, beaten

• 1/ 900g (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• Finely grated Parmesan for serving

• Stand mixer

• Pasta machine

• 1 3" round biscuit cutter

Mash all ingredients in a medium bowl until well blended and smooth. Cover and chill while preparing dough.

Place first 3 ingredients in bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook. Mix at low speed until dough pulls away from side of bowl, about 4 minutes. Place on work surface; knead until smooth, adding water by teaspoonfuls if dry, 2-3 minutes (dough is fairly stiff). Divide in 4, flatten, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

Working with 1 dough round at a time, run dough through widest setting of a pasta machine. Fold in half; run through machine. Repeat 7 times. Roll through machine without folding, decreasing width setting after each roll, until 1/16" thick. Transfer to a floured surface.

Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut dough into circles. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoonful of filling into centre of each dough. Brush edges lightly with egg white; fold over and press to seal, forming a half-moon shape. Fold and press tips together, moistening with egg white to seal. Transfer to a lightly floured rimmed baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt; add tortelloni. Simmer, stirring gently, until cooked through, 2-3 minutes after they begin to float. Using a slotted spoon, divide tortelloni among bowls. Drizzle melted butter over and serve with cheese.
