Prosciutto Cotto & Mozzarella Tortelloni with Beetroot and Almond Pesto
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS:
1 pack of La Famiglia Rana Prosciutto Cotto & Mozzarella Tortelloni
15g shelled and roasted almonds for garnish
1 small roasted beetroot, peeled and diced
15g pumpkin seeds
15g cashews or walnuts
1 clove of peeled garlic
Grated Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
METHOD:
Place all the pesto ingredients (beetroot, pumpkin seeds, cashews, garlic, pecorino, oil, lemon juice) in a food processor and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Add salt and pepper to your liking then pour the pesto in a bowl.
Grill the almonds in a non-stick pan for 2 to 3 minutes until they are golden brown and set aside. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortelloni for 2 minutes.
Carefully drain the tortelloni and stir in the pesto, mixing gently. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve.
