Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large eggs Water
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add olive oil and eggs. Gradually mix together, adding water one tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until fully browned and no pink remains.

Step 5

Season the beef with black pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste. Stir in the tomato paste until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Once cooled, mix in the egg yolk and parsley to bind the filling, then set aside.

Step 7

Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

Step 8

Cut small circles out of the dough using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges to seal and twist the ends to form the classic tortellini shape.

Step 10

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini in batches, cooking until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 11

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite dairy-free sauce.
