HOMEMADE TORTELLINI IN BROTH

Steps:

• Brown the chicken breast in the butter, seasoning it with salt and pepper; set aside. Chop mortadella finely and combine in a bowl with the chicken, ricotta, 1 cup grated Romano, 1 egg, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and mix well.
• Heap the flour in a mound on a board and make a well in the center. Break in the 2 remaining eggs and knead into soft, smooth dough. Roll out into a thin (1/8" thick) sheet and cut into 1-1/4" circles (you can use a small juice glass).
• To make tortellini, place a little of the filling in the center of each circle and fold the pasta in half, pressing it around the edges to seal in filling. Then wind the folded edge around the tip of your index finger and press the 2 ends together to form a ring.
• Bring chicken broth to a simmer.
• Bring the stock to a boil. Drop in tortellini and cook until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and serve in bowls of broth, passing remaining grated cheese.

• In a pot of boiling salted water cook the tortellini for 7 to 8 minutes, or until al dente. Add to the broth along with arugula and simmer, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

TORTELLINI ALLA PANNA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to boil.
• Once water is boiling add tortellini. Cook according to directions on the package. Stick to that time precisely or even reduce it by 1 minute to avoid that tortellini fall apart when you add them to the sauce.
• While you're waiting for water to boil to cook tortellini in, prepare the cream sauce.Place a pan over medium heat, add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (you can substitute it with butter if you prefer).
• Add heavy cream and stir. Once you see first bubbles reduce the heat, add nutmeg and stir again.Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce has slightly reduced, it should be still liquid. Turn the heat off.
• Once tortellini are ready, reserve a cup or a little less of their cooking liquid.Drain tortellini and add to the pan with the cream sauce.
• Turn on the heat and toss everything in the pan until the sauce has coated tortellini (it'll take about a minute or so).
• Remove the pan from the heat and add Parmesan cheese, stir until tortellini are well covered with the creamy sauce.If tortellini dry out a bit add a few tablespoons of previously reserved pasta cooking liquid (that should be warm but NOT boiling by now).Give everything another good toss in the pan.
• Serve immediately with fresh ground pepper.
