Tortelli Mugellani

Tortelli Mugellani is a traditional dish from Tuscany. The tortelli are square in shape and somewhat bigger than the classic ravioli. Initially, this was a peasant meal and the tortelli were filled with local Mugello chestnuts, but around 1800 they were filled with potatoes, a practice that continues up to this day. The filling consists of potatoes, garlic, butter, cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, while the dough is made from flour and eggs. Tortelli Mugellani are traditionally served with meat sauce or butter and sage sauce. Pair it with a glass of Tuscan red wine.
