Get Cooking!
Add the pork shoulder into a large pot with butter, and with salt and pepper. Saute until browned on all sides, and add the white wine to the pan. Cook uncovered until pork is cooked through, adding a bit of broth or water if needed. season
Let pork cool, and add it to a food processor with prosciutto, mortadella, parmesan, nutmeg, and egg. Blend until meat makes a fine paste. Season with salt to taste. Set aside in the refrigerator until pasta is ready to make.
To make the pasta, place flour on a clean surface and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs, and slowly start to incorporate the eggs into the flour with a fork, being careful not to tip the eggs out and spill them.
Begin to the dough once all of the egg is incorporated, and if needed add water until the dough is workable a couple of teaspoons at a time. Knead the dough for about knead10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest wrapped in plastic wrap at least 30 minutes.
To make the tortellini, roll out the dough on a pasta maker, lightly floured as needed to the second to last setting. Cut the pasta dough sheets into 3 centimetre squares.
Place about ½ teaspoon of filling in the centre of the pasta square. To form a tortellini, enclose the pasta filling by folding the pasta in half to form a triangle, wetting the pasta slightly with water if needed. Fold the two triangle corners together and pinch well. Continue this process until all the pasta and filling is used up.
To cook, bring a large pot of broth (about 2 litres) to a gentle boil. Add the tortellini, and cook until floating, about 4 – 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste, and serve with additional parmesan cheese.
