Ingredients:
5 sheets of pasta |
2 cups duck rillette |
4 ounces maytag blue cheese |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup julienne shallots |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
2 cups veal reduction |
salt and black pepper |
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley |
4 confit duck legs, meat removed |
1/2 cup minced onions |
1 tablespoon minced parsley |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
1 tablespoon cognac |
4 tablespoons butter |
salt and fresh black pepper |
2 tablespoons confit duck fat |
Directions:
1. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut each pasta sheet into 6 rounds. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each round. Place 1/4 ounce of cheese on top of each rillette. Lightly wet the edges of the pasta. Fold one side of the pasta over to the next forming a half moon. Bring the two corners together and gently press together. Fold the edges of the pasta down forming the shape of a tortelloni. Dust the pasta with cornmeal to prevent from sticking. Bring a pot of sated water to a boil. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the shallots until they start to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the reduction and bring up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Drop a couple of the tortelloni in the boiling water. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the water and drain. Season the pasta with salt and pepper. Ladle the sauce in the center of a shallow bowl. Arrange four tortelloni in the center of the sauce. Garnish with cheese,and parsley.
