Lobster Tortellini With Spinach - Herb Sauce

Lobster Tortellini With Spinach - Herb Sauce


1. In a food processor, puree the spinach, thyme, garlic, lemon zest and juice, wine, oil, sea salt and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.

2. In a bowl, mix together cheese, milk, pepper and thyme until very soft, then fold in the lobster until well blended. Set aside.

3. Lay out a row of wonton wrappers on a lightly floured surface and brush with beaten egg.

4. Place 1 tsp of lobster filling in the centre of each wrapper.

5. Take one corner of a wrapper and pull it over to the opposite corner, pressing down on all sides to seal the edges into a triangle.

6. Curl the triangle and tuck the two bottom corners into each other, pinching them together with a dot of water.

7. Place finished pasta on a wax-paper lined sheet.

8. When all the pasta is filled and shaped, place the baking sheet in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or in the freezer for 30 minutes.

9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

10. Add tortellini and cook 4 minutes.

11. Reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, drain pasta and return to pot placed over medium-low heat.

12. Stir in the spinach mixture and enough reserved pasta water to lightly coat the tortellini.

13. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs if desired.
