Are you looking for a delicious and easy recipe to try at home? Try making fresh mozzarella tortellini skewers! This recipe is perfect for a quick meal, and it’s easy to make with only a few ingredients. Here are the steps:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
- 2 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it.
Step 2: Use a fork to beat the eggs until they are well combined with the flour mixture. Gradually add more flour to the egg mixture until you have a dough that is smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for at least an hour. While the dough is resting, make the mozzarella cheese filling.
Step 5: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed mozzarella cheese and chopped basil leaves. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 6: Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out small squares of dough.
Step 7: Place a small spoonful of mozzarella cheese filling in the center of each square of dough. Fold the square of dough over the cheese filling and pinch the edges together to seal it.
Step 8: Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the dough and cheese filling. Arrange the tortellini skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 9: Drizzle olive oil over the top of the tortellini skewers and bake in the oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
Step 10: Serve the fresh mozzarella tortellini skewers hot with a side of balsamic glaze (optional). Enjoy your delicious homemade pasta!
