Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 50 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour and add in the eggs and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a fork, slowly incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, then knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the onion and garlic until they are fragrant and translucent.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 8

After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces.

Step 9

Roll out each piece into a thin sheet on a lightly floured surface or using a pasta machine.

Step 10

Cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of the meat filling in the center of each square.

Step 11

Fold the squares into triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Bring the two outer corners of the triangle together to form a ring shape, pressing the tips together to seal.

Step 12

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.

Step 13

Remove the tortellini with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite sauce or a drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese.
