Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini
Ricotta and spinach are among the most expected vegetarian pairings in Italian cooking. In genuine tortellini di magro, it's also used as a filling for tortellini, the famous ring-shaped stuffed egg pasta from Bologna served in clear beef stock for Christmas or any special occasion. This recipe, with green spinach dough and a vegetarian filling, is a much-appreciated alternative to the basic recipe. Serve it with your favorite sauce. It's great with a simple butter and sage sauce or regular tomato sauce.
