From The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver, Michael
Joseph, 1999.
With a
lot of spicy pumpkin left over from a previous baked dinner this was the
obvious recipe to use it up.
The
filling for the tortellini was made by chopping up half of the pumpkin into
small pieces and the other half into coarser lumps. They were mixed together in
a bowl with chopped basil and ricotta cheese and a handful of grated Parmesan
cheese. Once seasoned it was ready to use to fill the tortellini.
I used
Jamie Oliver’s pasta recipe to make the tortellini. It’s an egg-heavy pasta but
it does make a nice flexible light pasta. Tortellini are fun to make although I
don’t always come up with the best looking ones.
While the
tortellini were cooking in salted water, some fresh herbs (sage, mint, parsley
and marjoram) were fried in some butter and olive oil. This was served over the
cooked pasta.
