  • 2 tbsp wine vinegar 30 ml

  • 2 egg yolks

  • Homemade yellow pasta dough machine or hand-rolled, using 3 large eggs, about 1 2/3 cups unbleached flour (210 g), and 1 tbsp milk (15 ml)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 15 ml, for boiling the pasta water

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Peel the onion and carrot. Rinse the carrot and celery under cold water.
  2. Put enough water in a pan to cover the fish later. Add onion, carrot, and celery and bring to a boil.
  3. Add the fish, vinegar, and salt. Cover the pan. When the water returns to a boil, adjust heat to a gentle, steady simmer and cook about 8 minutes, depending on fish thickness.
  4. Lift the fish out with a slotted spoon or spatula and set it on a platter. Remove skin, any gelatinous matter, the center bone, and all small bones you can find.
  5. Mash the fish with a fork. Mix in egg yolks, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, marjoram, a tiny grating of nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp), a few grindings of pepper, and the cream. Mix until evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt.
  6. Make yellow pasta dough by the machine method or hand-rolled method. Cut, stuff, and shape tortellini. When boiling, add 1 tbsp olive oil to the water.
