Tortelli Alla Bolognese

Ingredients

• One recipe of home-made macaroni dough, cut into squares
• Ground meat
• Broth or water (for boiling)

Directions

1. Place into the center of each macaroni  dough square a teaspoonful of ground meat.
2. Fold the square carefully, taking care that the sides overlap, so that there is no possibility of the tortellos bursting open. 
3. Drop the tortelli into boiling broth (or water). 
4. Cool for twenty minutes over a quick fire. 
5. Serve in soup, or separately, in a dish, with tomato, giblet, or spinach sauce poured over them.
