Steps

  • Pulse flour, egg, and egg yolks in a processor until a dough forms.
  • Chill covered dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Roll half the dough through a pasta machine to the thinnest setting and cut into tagliatelle.
  • Sauté onion, celery, garlic, and rosemary in oil until soft.
  • Brown the beef, add wine and tomatoes, then simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  • Mix ricotta with nutmeg, lemon zest, and seasoning for the tortellini filling.
  • Roll remaining dough to the thinnest setting and cut into 4-5cm circles.
  • Place filling on egg-brushed circles, fold to seal, and shape into tortellini.
  • Boil tortellini for 2-3 minutes until al dente, reserving some cooking water.
  • Fry garlic, thyme, and courgettes in oil, then stir in butter and pasta water.
  • Boil tagliatelle for 2-3 minutes, drain, and mix with bolognese and butter.
  • Serve tagliatelle and tortellini separately topped with grated Parmesan.
