Content

“Not all those who wander are lost”, Tolkien used to say. Humans are explorers, wanderers by nature and we usually feel great when we discover new places.Travelling enables you to look at the world in a different way, it helps you to grow up. You might have got to your Erasmus destination without knowing anything about the new city or culture you’re about to dive into. But..we got you: listen, taste, smell, look up over and all around you. Sit down, take breaks, drink and eat and of course even get a little lost on purpose in the enchanting and welcoming city of Bologna or as the locals usually call it: the erudite, the fat and the red.

PREPARE THE TORTELLINIMake a hole in the center of the flour, pour the eggs into it and start beating with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour. Knead the dough for about ten minutes and leave to rest. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing: chop the meat very finely and add the eggs, the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and the nutmeg, and leave to rest for at least 12 hours in the fridge. Roll out the dough on a wooden cutting board with a rolling pin until it is very thin. Cut squares of about 3 centimeters on each side and place a nut of filling on each square. Fold the pasta into a triangle by matching the sides, and wrap the triangle around your finger. Overlapping the two opposite corners, press the tortellino so that the pasta sticks firmly. Cook the tortellini in broth, leave them on for two minutes and serve them.
