Tortelloni Ricordo di Erbazzone literally translates to tortelloni made from the memories of erbazzone. Growing up, on our days off my family would go out for the “aperitivo hour” — that time in the evening between 6:00 and 8:00 — for cocktails and nibbles. Erbazzone, a savory pie made with bitter greens, pancetta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano is one of the classic aperitivo snacks from Reggio-Emilia in Emilia Romagna, a town close to Modena. As an homage to Jacques, whom I used to watch with my dad in my pajamas, I have created my version of erbazonne. Instead of a pie it is in the form of a stuffed tortelloni served with burro rosolato, salvia e Parmigiano; a butter and sage sauce with lots of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. It does take some work, but it’s worth it. Buon appetito!
