Homemade pasta is not a regular thing around here. In fact, pasta is often one of those “I can’t think of anything else to make,” quick dinners, that gets thrown together in as fast as it takes for the noodles to cook. However, when I have a little forethought and time, fresh pasta is a whole other experience than that quick dinner. The texture of fresh pasta can’t be beat, but even more, being able to stuff your pasta with whatever you want changes everything. Like dumplings, fresh, homemade stuffed pasta is not even close to what you buy at the store. You can taste what’s inside. These ricotta and basil tortellini therefore taste like just that: ricotta and basil.
