Preparation: 30 minutes
Preparation: 20 minutes
Ingredients for 4 people)
- 750 g burrata (or stracciatella di Bufala), plus 50 g for dressing
- 600 g ricotta
- 5 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. teaspoon fine salt, plus a little for the sauce
- 30 datterino tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- 1 uncrushed garlic clove
- 1 pinch Espelette pepper
- 400 g pasta dough
- 1 egg yolk (optional)
- 20 candied tomatoes, for decoration
- 10 marjoram leaves, for decoration
- ground pepper
- Prepare the stuffing: Finely chop the burrata, then mix it with the ricotta. Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper. To reserve.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them into 2.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the garlic clove for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes on a low heat until the tomatoes break down. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add Espelette pepper.
- Add the burrata and ricotta mixture to the pan. To reserve.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to 2 mm thickness with a rolling pin. Cut the edges to make it a square shape, then draw a grid to make small squares with a side of 4 cm. Put some filling in the center of a square with a teaspoon or piping bag.
- Then moisten 2 consecutive sides with a little water or egg yolk, then fold 2 opposite points inwards and glue them overlapping to form a triangle (or the tortellino). Pinch the edges tightly to prevent them from opening during cooking. Make all the tortellini like this.
- Cook the tortellini in a pot of boiling salted water for 4 minutes and drain with a slotted spoon.
- Just before serving, add the candied tomatoes, a few burrata sticks reserved for dressing and a few marjoram leaves for decoration.
