To prepare these delicious tortellini, i use a dough that adapts very well and makes the task easier, you can also use the Gyosa Dough or you can make the italian dough from scratch.
Tortellini, allows us to combine different and tasty fillings, using meats, cheeses and vegetables.
I filled these delicious tortellini with three cheese and spinach filling. I personally accompany it with Black Olives and Capers in a Cream Sauce, my family accompanies it with Authentic Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce and Bechamel Sauce
Sprinkled with shredded Parmesan cheese.
They are very easy to prepare. I hope you like the recipe, prepare and enjoy it with your family.

Also you can prepare the dough for homemade pasta and cut them with an 3 1/2 in. pasta cutter (see recipe here Basic Dough for Homemade Pasta)
