  • To coincide with the Olympics, we are visiting an Italian in Paris! 92 year old Lina, who originally came from Emilia Romagna, still makes tortelli in memory of her mum and this is her recipe, with a few French twists:
    For the dough:
    400g 00 flour
    5 small eggs
    olive oil
    salt
    For the spinach mixture: 1 carrot, 1 stick of celery, 1 onion, diced small and sauteed in olive oil, sunflower oil and butter. 300g (cooked, squeezed of water, weight) spinach and chard.
    For the filling, use 1/2 of the spinach and add 250g ricotta, 1 tablespoon crème fraîche, 70g parmesan, 2 eggs
    For the ragú:
    half of the spinach mixture, 300g pork mince, 300g beef mince, small tin of tomato concentrate 300ml passata, water if needed.
    Cook the tortelli for around 3 minutes in salted water, serve with the ragu and more parmigiano, and buon appetito!

    Thank you for sharing the life of an italian immigrant, on my father's side my family was from Genoa but I never had the chance to have this awesome culture passed down to me.
    France and Italy have so much shared history and culture, if you go to the Comté de Nice or in Savoie (where I grew up and which was italian untill 1860), I am sure you will find plenty of pasta grannies with mixed heritage and fascinating stories.

      I live in the province of Parma near the Piacenza one and we use the word "tortelli" instead of ravioli, this recipe look familiar to me. We don't really pair tortelli with ragù but it could be a local or even a family twist on the recipe.
      A lot of our emigrants went to France in the first half of 1900.

    • @DerAdler82
      @DerAdler82 Месяц назад

      @@sarac.123 I live in the province of Piacenza and, yes, we call them Tortelli. However, in our tradition, they're not square-shaped but elongated with both edges twisted (like a candy wrapper); that's why they're called "Tortelli con la coda". Btw, the square-shaped version is quite often used for the pumpkin-filled variant of Tortelli.
      You're absolutely right about the sauces; Tortelli are usually served with butter and sage or sauce with mushrooms, not with ragù' (or other meat sauces). But you can eat them even without anything on top (especially when they're really well made and the filling is very tasty).
      Anyway, I do confirm that from our provinces many emigrated to France in that past and, especially during the summer time, descendants and relatives return to our hills to spend their holidays. Plenty of cars with French license plates at this time of year in my area 😀

      Conosco quelli con la coda (strabuoni!); i miei nonni erano piacentini.
      In realtà i tortelli loro li chiamavano "malfatti" 😊 e si condiscono tradizionalmente con burro, salvia e formaggio ma mia nonna li preparava anche con un sugo di pomodoro molto semplice, quella che si chiama " la consa" usata anche per la pastasciutta. Quelli con la zucca ( e ricotta) conditi con il sugo di funghi sono la cena della Vigilia della mia famiglia!

      @@sarac.123 Qui nel piacentino, in particolare nelle trattorie, i Tortelli vengono spesso portati in tavola senza condimento, poi a piacere uno ci mette il sugo e formaggio grattugiato se vuole (oppure può chiederli con il burro fuso e salvia). Come detto, quando sono davvero buoni, è un piacere mangiarli anche "in bianco", ovvero senza condimento.
      I Tortelli con la coda sono fatti a regola d'arte quando "la coda" non resta cruda a fine cottura (occorre che la pasta sia stata tirata bene e non sia troppo spessa e la coda sia "pizzicata" il giusto, non troppo altrimenti resta scotta). A parte per la variante con la zucca (che qualcuno fa comunque con "la coda") raramente viene servita la versione "a raviolo" nel piacentino, ma può capitare sopratutto nelle sagre di paese (tranne la festa del Tortello di Vigolzone, dove è rigorosamente con "la coda").
      Il ripieno è per tradizione ricotta, grana padano grattugiato, noce moscata, sale e uova che si uniscono agli spinaci (o bietole) sbollentati, oppure alla zucca (per la variante) passata prima nel forno (c'è anche chi la lessa), ma in questo caso niente uova.
      Un tocco che rende il ripieno ancora più sfizioso, in particolare per la versione con gli spinaci, è usare la ricotta mascarponata (Valcolatte la migliore); rende il ripieno dei Tortelli cremoso e molto più buono. Con la pasta sottile, si sciolgono in bocca!
      Vado a mangiarli! ahhaha 😆

      I miei nonni erano della zona tra Castell'Arquato e Fiorenzuola, i malfatti di zucca li facciamo a "sacchetto rettangolare", non so come altro descrivere la forma che facciamo se li chiudiamo a mano😅, qui nella Bassa Parmense (confine con Piacenza) non li ho mai visti fare nei locali, i tortelli di zucca qui li fanno più "magri".
