Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Plant-based ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt. Gradually add water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil while stirring until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the plant-based ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, black pepper, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Add fresh basil and remove from heat. Let it cool.
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it's about 1/16th of an inch thick.
Using a round cutter or glass (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles of dough. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough in half to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal. Then, bring the two corners together to form a ring, pressing to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the top.
Drain the tortellini and serve with your favorite vegan sauce or a drizzle of olive oil and more fresh basil.
