Pasta Dough

Tortellini
Roll out the pasta dough paper-thin. Brush the first pasta sheet with egg yolk and place the filling on top in small heaps, each 5 cm apart. Place the 2nd sheet of pasta on top and press down gently, especially to avoid air pockets around the filling. Continue this way until the dough is used up. Cut the tortellini into rounds. Bring plenty of lightly salted water to the boil. Reduce the heat and let the tortellini simmer in batches for about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain carefully.

Beetroot Essence
Wash and peel the beetroot and cut into small cubes. Whisk the egg whites lightly. Put both in a saucepan, add the crustacean stock and head so that the liquid is just simmering. Simmer for about 2 minutes, remove the pot from the cooker. After 20 minutes carefully and slowly strain the beetroot cubes through a cloth and add salt to taste the essence.
