Tortellini with veal and prosciutto are indeed an excellent idea to prepare at home. At least we won’t be eating the ones bought at the supermarket, which even if not perfect, will surely be more genuine, and then the satisfaction is priceless!!
You can prepare them in advance and freeze them first on a tray, and once frozen, you can put them in a plastic bag and leave them in the freezer without fear of them breaking or sticking. Follow the recipe for both the filling and the external seasoning, and you will conquer everyone!!!

Preparation of Tortellini with Veal and Prosciutto
First, prepare the sauce by browning the chopped onion in a pan with some extra virgin olive oil, then add the passed peeled tomatoes, salt, pepper, add a little water, and mix well.
Let it cook for at least 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a high-sided pan, heat a little extra virgin olive oil, then add the ground veal and prosciutto, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Add salt, nutmeg, and continue stirring until the meat is well-cooked. Finally, add some bechamel sauce and remove from heat. Now you will have the pasta sheet ready. From each sheet, cut squares that are neither too large nor too small.
Place about a teaspoon of meat on each square, (slightly wet the edge of the pasta by dipping a finger in water), fold the squares in half by joining one corner to the other, forming a triangle, and join the corners of this triangle to form a tortellino.
Prepare salted water for the pasta, and when it’s boiling, add the tortellini and let them cook for 6-7 minutes (the cooking depends on the thickness of the pasta, so you have to adjust accordingly).
Drain the tortellini, dress them with the sauce, add the Parmigiano, and serve.Follow me on Facebook Pinterest Twitter InstagramYoutube Telegram
