Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup Ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup Asiago cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon basil chopped
  • 1-2 garlic
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine all the cheeses, chopped basil and green onions, an egg and the seasonings.
  • Mix well until you get a uniform filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, all purpose flour and some salt.
  • Knead this into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out into a thin sheet and use a round cutter to make the wrappers for the tortellini.
  • Place a spoonful of the mixture into the center of each tortellini wrapper.
  • Wet the edges and fold the tortellini into a half moon shape, sealing the edges with your fingertips. Bring both the corners together and press tightly to seal again.
  • Place these prepared tortellini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Avoid overstuffing your tortellini. You might be tempted to fill up the wrappers with a lot of that delicious filling, but that will only make it difficult for you to seal the edges.
  • Start with about a teaspoon of the mixture in each wrapper. Overfilling the tortellini will cause them to fall apart when you cook them.
  • Add other mix-ins like chopped sundried or oven dried tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms or even some chopped spinach.
  • Make sure you roll out the dough into a sheet that is even in thickness. You can use a pasta machine to do this if you have one.
  • I used a 2 inch cookie cutter to make the wrapper rounds. If you don't have one, you can just cut out square wrappers using a sharp knife.
