homemade pasta



It took me several months to make my favourit dish again.

Tortellini with Gorgonzola Sauce.

To get Tortellini, Ravioli or other fresh stuffed pasta in a supermarket in Belize is impossible. So I had to do it myself. You can make the pasta dough with flour, eggs and olive oil or you can make it with semolina, olive oil and water.

This time I choose the variation with flour and eggs.



I decided to make a hearty ground steak stuffing for the Tortellini and Ravioli. Next time I'll maybe prepare a shrimp - lemmon gras or a spinach - ricotta stuffing.

After more than 50 little handmade Tortellini I decided to do some Tagliatelle - this is much easier and not so time-consuming ;)



And with the leftover of the ground steak. We'll have "Pasta Bolgonese" for tomorrow's lunch.
