Tonight my wife and I went to a friends house and made tortellini from scratch. It was a really good social experience, we learned how to make pasta and we all ate a really nice dinner. The stuffing for our tortellini was made of roast pork, prawns and prosciutto. The pork and prawn combination was designed by the friends we were visiting but it worked out really well, it was served in a vegetable and beef broth with a side of home made garlic bread ... yum yum.
For this dinner we brought over two bottles of wine, the first was a chardonnay from the coombe valley which was very refreshing while we made the pasta.
The second was a pinot noir from Yering farm which complimented the pasta very well.
I highly recommend socializing with people by cooking, getting around and making dumplings or stuffed pasta is an excellent way to get to know people better.
