Tortellini in Cream Sauce (Alla Panna)
I’m not sure where the hate for cream comes from… I wont get into it here, but even some of the greatest Italian chefs of all time put cream in their carbonara well into the 1980s. Maybe it’s just a form of nationalism, or performative tribalism that divides people into the broths and the creams… but I think there is definitely room for both in my kitchen, in my stomach, and in my heart.
Recipe:
Pasta Dough
300g-350g 00 Flour
100g whole eggs (2 Large Eggs)
90g Egg Yolks (5 Yolks)
Filling
100g Ground Pork
100g Prosciutto
100g Mortadella
100g Parmigiano
1 Egg
1g Nutmeg
Salt to taste
Sauce
100g Chicken Broth
100g Cream
50g Parmesan (Freshly Grated)
For the pasta dough… watch my video called H is for Homemade Pasta. It’s free and does the best job of explaining things.
For the filling, just brown the meat, and blend it all together till super smooth. It should be pretty moldable, and you should absolutely salt to taste. You can add some garlic or rosemary here if you want… I won’t tell.
To fold, cut squares
For the sauce, when the broth is barely warm, add the cream and whisk together. While whisking continuously on LOW heat, add the freshly grated parmesan cheese and continue whisking till combined.
Because the pasta is fresh, you can cook it for a couple minutes in the cream sauce with some broth. If the tortellini you are using are NOT freshly made, then you need to cook them separately before adding them to the sauce. Ideally, you cook them in chicken broth for added flavor.
Enjoy!

There’s literally raw egg in the filling
not parmesan but parmigiano
Today I learned: tortellini is folded exactly like Chinese wontons (Northerners say hún dùn 馄炖, southerners say yún tūn 云吞)!
For those that dont want to eat raw eggs, id recommend par-blitzing the filling without the egg first and season to taste, then adding the egg and blitz again
Nothing wrong with cream sauce, the issue is putting cream in recipes that don't call for cream. It's almost always an issue with carbonara recipes or Alfredo.
no italian is saying you cant, just in the right dishes. its like ragu and spaghetti – no no its ragu with a nice wide noodle
to those saying theres raw egg, do you scramble and dehydrate your eggs???
is the browned pork in the room with us
Haha yeah a pasta bike! (I'm going to the store).
Torts
cream maybe but not in carbonara
I'd like to point out that tomatoes came from South America. What did Italians cook with before this ? Hence, one sauce is cream !
it is perfectly fine to taste raw fillings when you are a healthy adult. for young children, pregnant women or the elderly not. source my school during my chef training in germany.
"fully cooked" sir, that is NOT a cooked egg 🙃
Cream is also cheaper here in the US than fancy Italian cheeses
looks so good and creamy
Yeah of course cream on pasta is delicious, italian approved. It's just… put cream in the recipes that want cream, dont put it in stuff like Carbonara or Alfredo xD
Panna in Italy doesn’t actually taste like the heavy cream we have in the US. Also don’t put heavy cream in Italian sauces if they don’t call for it

Brown that meat til it's gray.
Arrested Development reference made it perfect
I was here when you started the series can’t believe you’re almost at the end 😭🥲
It’s actually kind of a challenge not to find cream in a northern Italian dish period.
“footage not found” of friends who help you, same. 😔
good lord, this is perfection! lots of love from bologna <3
You know, I never really thought to cook the torts in the milky sauce. That sounds so good, definitely trying this next time.
WHERE'S THE GABAGOUL?!
Oh never knew some of them were filled with meat. They remind me of little wonton especially with how they're folded. So cool to see similarities in cuisine from around the world. I wonder how my asian grandma will react when I tell her about how Italians eat little wontons drenched in cream lol
No one has ever said you cannot at cream to a pasta dish.
Cream cheese is a Italian favorite
footage not found cracked me up😂
Gay
Depends on which sauces… What kind of Italian puts cream in carbonara or cacio e pepe
Mama mia! 🤌🏽 I swear, we all eat the same food and just prepare it differently and call it different names 😅 I've never seen or eaten Tortellini before but they're so similar to Chinese dumplings. It's just fascinating 😊
you speak too much its shit come to india we hear dont speak much but our food is best
request to speak like brave men
Bravoooooo, insegna anche ai tuoi colleghi
Shoulda whisked longer, watery sauce
I'm not one of those that say cream doesn't belong in all Italian food, I just personally would rather cook and eat fettuccine al burro than fettuccine alfredo
Looks delicious even if I don’t eat pork
Bro I just had diner. Why you gotta make me cook again!??!?!
Way too lazy to make tortellini but the filling looks yum for ravioli too 🙂
Hehe squidward
But not on carbonara ❌️
When he randomly starts saying shit like it's Italian is so fucking annoying
