Goats Curd Cheese Tortellini
with Pinenuts, Raisins and Prawns.
 
In the print article we described the experience of discovering Hugh's goat curd tortellini for the first time. "There’s the crunch of prawn pieces, the soft green sultanas, the pinenuts, the warmth of the burnt butter and the cool surprise as you bite through the fresh pasta and the goat curd flows into your mouth. Sure there are just a few ingredients but the resulting entrée is truly special." Lucky for us, Hugh was happy to oblige with the recipe. This makes four entrée size portions.

12x10cm circles fresh pasta
200g Jannei goats curd cheese
2 tblsp Persian green raisins soaked in black tea*
2 tblsp pinenuts
100g unsalted butter
50g Parmesan, grated
Salt and pepper
8 medium green prawns – peeled

Place a small ball of goats cheese in centre of pasta, wet pasta edges with water. Close pasta to form a half moon, bring edges/corners together and pinch. Cook tortellini in boiling salted water for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a small frying pan. Add pinenuts, prawns and raisins and cook until butter starts to brown.

At this stage, add the tortellini and cook gently for a few seconds. Serve on a plate with grated Parmesan.
