Directions
It takes 7 steps in 1 h 40 min
1 -
Boil the red beetroot, it will take about half an hour, then drain it, peel it and blend it so as to reduce it into the smallest possible pieces
2 -
Put in the blender only the amount of turnip indicated in the ingredients, then add the flour and a pinch of salt.
Blend until the mixture reaches a sandy consistency with a homogeneous red color.
Add the yolk and blend at low speed until it reaches a firm and non-sticky consistency, then let it rest covered with plastic wrap

3 -
Cut the speck into strips about 2 or 3 millimeters high (they should resemble matches), blend half of the speck and mix it together with the ricotta and a bit of salt. The other half of the speck will be used later
4 -
Roll out the pasta to a thickness that is not too thin; if using a pasta machine, the correct setting is the second to last or even the third to last if you prefer thicker pasta. Cut out circular shapes of about 7/8 centimeters in diameter and fill them with the filling using a piping bag. Seal the tortelli and set them aside
5 -
Sear the remaining speck in a large pan with a drizzle of oil. As soon as the fat becomes translucent, turn off the heat and add the butter to melt it
Cost
The ingredient with the highest cost is speck, but not much of it is used. Each serving costs around three euros
Health
I can only describe it as a heavy dish, with lots of carbohydrates and fats. Try to limit yourself to just one serving
