Categories: Essnce04
Yield: 4 servings

5 Sheets Pasta
2 c Duck Rillette; see * Note
4 oz Maytag Blue Cheese
1/4 c Cornmeal
2 tb Olive oil
1 c Julienne shallots
1 tb Minced garlic
2 c Veal reduction

1/4 c Finely-chopped parsley

* Note: See the "Duck Rillette" recipe which is included in this
collection.

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. 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 to 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. This recipe yields 4 appetizer
servings.
