Steps

  • Pulse flour, three eggs, and olive oil in a food processor until crumbs form.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface for 3 minutes until smooth then chill for 20 minutes.
  • Feed dough through a pasta machine starting at the thickest setting.
  • Roll the pasta thinner by decreasing machine settings while flouring between passes.
  • Repeat until desired thickness is reached and cover unused pasta with cling film.
  • Combine crab meats, lemon juice, paprika, and parsley in a bowl and season.
  • Stamp 6cm discs from the pasta and place crab filling on each.
  • Brush edges with egg wash, fold into crescents, and twist edges to seal.
  • Blanch parsley in boiling water for 30 seconds then refresh in ice water and chop.
  • Sauté onion in butter then add peas and stock and bring to a boil.
  • Blend the mixture with blanched parsley, strain into a pan, and simmer.
  • Boil carrots for one minute and leeks for two minutes then drain and oil.
  • Cook tortellini in boiling salted water for 2 minutes until they float.
  • Serve tortellini in the broth topped with vegetables and chervil sprigs.
