    DUCK TORTELLINI

    Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 8

    Pasta

    Ingredients:

    600g flour

    4 whole eggs

    8 egg yolks (600g eggs)

    20ml olive oil

    Directions:

    Place the flour on a clean work surface and make a nest. Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt to the centre and use a fork to gently break up the eggs, keeping the flour walls intact as best as you can. Use your hands to gently bring the flour inward to incorporate. Continue working the dough with your hands to bring it together into a shaggy ball. Knead the dough until it becomes cohesive and smooth. Rest for a minimum of 1 hour. Roll into pasta machine setting 1 millimetre. Tortellini cut with a 10cm cutter. Pasta ready for filling
