Instructions to make Tortellini in brodo:

5. In the meantime, let's make the filling
6. Add the sage, bay leafs and butter to a pan. Then medium heat.
7. When the butter starts bubbling, add the pork
8. Let it cook for at least ten minutes
9. Just after the pork starts turning golden brown, remove from the heat
10. Remove the bay leaf and sage if not chopped
11. Blend with chopped mortadella and ham
12. Once mixture is smooth, add egg, salt, nutmeg, parmesan and mix
13. Tightly cover with cling film and put in the fridge. The filling must be cool before adding it to the pasta
14. Next, the pasta
15. Knead the flour, eggs and salt into a smooth dough. This will take at least ten minutes
16. Now we must work quickly lest the pasta dries. With a rolling pin roll some of the dough into a thin sheet. Wrap the rest of dough in cling film to prevent it drying out (important!)

21. Pull the corners together, keeping them in the same plane as defined by the triangle
22. Squeeze the corners together and make pretty if needed
23. Try not to form a bum
24. Leave the pasta to dry in a non humid place. Once dry, store fridge if needed.
25. ⏩ Fast forward to the broth being ready ⏩
26. Sieve the broth into a container and then chill in fridge overnight.
27. By now the fat should have risen to the top and solidified
28. Remove the fat. Use it for something else or through it away.
