Yield Makes enough dough for 140 tortelloni

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 2/3 cups unbleached flour, plus more as needed
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Mound flour in center of a large work surface, and make a well in the middle. Crack eggs into the well.
  • Using a fork, beat eggs; slowly incorporate flour, beginning with inner rim of well. When flour is incorporated, gather dough together to form a rounded mass. Begin kneading dough with the palms of your hands. Once dough comes together, scrape up any dried bits of dough; discard.
  • Lightly flour work surface; knead dough, adding flour as necessary, until no longer sticky, about 6 minutes. Divide dough into nine equal pieces and wrap in plastic wrap; keep at room temperature until ready to use. Roll or shape as desired.
