Soak the chestnuts in salted water for 12 hours or overnight. Drain the chestnuts, peel them, and place in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the milk and cream. Add enough water so that the chestnuts are completely covered and cook over medium-high heat, taking care not to scorch the milk, until the chestnuts are easily mashed with a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes. Drain the chestnuts, reserving the cooking liquid, mash and allow to cool. Once cool, place in a bowl and add the cheese, eggs, nutmeg and black pepper. If necessary, add some of the cooking liquid to bring the mixture to the proper consistency. It should hold its shape when a tablespoon-sized ball is removed from the batch, but should not be so stiff that you risk tearing the delicate pasta that will envelop it.
Divide the prepared pasta dough into 3 equal-sized balls and roll each ball out to the thinnest setting on a pasta rolling machine. Cut each sheet of pasta into 4-inch squares. Place a tablespoon of the chestnut filling in the center of each square and fold the squares, corner to corner, then join the remaining corners to form the tortelli. Set the tortelli on a sheet tray dusted with flour, and cover with clean, damp kitchen towels.
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Drop the tortelli into the boiling water and cook 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 14 to 16-inch saute pan, heat the butter until it foams and subsides. Add the sage and allow to rest. Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking liquid, and add to the saute pan with the butter. Add a few splashes of the pasta cooking water and toss over high heat 2 minutes to coat and emulsify the sauce. Divide the pasta evenly among 4 warmed pasta bowls, top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve immediately.
Basic Pasta Dough:
Mound 3 1/2 cups of the flour in the center of a large wooden cutting board. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs and the olive oil. Using a fork, beat together the eggs and oil and begin to incorporate the flour, starting with the inner rim of the well.
As you expand the well, keep pushing the flour up from the base of the mound to retain the well shape. The dough will come together when half of the flour is incorporated.
Start kneading the dough with both hands, using the palms of your hands. Once you have a cohesive mass, remove the dough from the board and scrape up and discard any leftover bits. Lightly reflour the board and continue kneading for six more minutes. The dough should be elastic and a little sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Roll or shape as desired.
