Scratch-made Sourdough Tortellini
  1. Add the flour to a food processor. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Pour eggs over the flour, followed by the sourdough starter. Process until the dough comes together.

  2. Remove the dough to a lightly floured wooden surface. Cover with an upturned bowl and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Then, knead by hand for 1-2 minutes. If the dough is a bit sticky, add a sprinkle of flour to correct the texture.

  3. Form the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Alternatively, ferment the dough overnight to deepen the flavor.

  4. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the cubed pork loin until light golden brown and cooked through.

  5. To a food processor: Add the pork (with pan drippings), prosciutto and mortadella. Add the egg yolk, parmesan cheese and freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Process until a smooth paste forms.

  6. Cut the dough into quarters. Working with one dough at a time: roll it into a 6-8 inch oval disc. Send the disc through the roller attachment (or pasta machine) on various settings.

  7. Lay the pasta sheet on your work surface. Trim the edges and cut into 2×2 inch squares.

  8. Place ~2 g (¼ tsp. rounded) of the filling into the center of each square. Fold diagonally to create a triangle. Seal the edges, pushing out any air near the filling.

  9. Push the tip of your thumb into the bottom of the filling to create a little indent, then wrap the corner tip around your index finger to meet the other corner tip. Press gently to seal.

  10. Set shaped tortellini on a parchment-lined sheet pan dusted with semolina flour and keep covered at all times.
