PREPARE THE TORTELLINIMake a hole in the center of the flour, pour the eggs into it and start beating with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour. Knead the dough for about ten minutes and leave to rest. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing: chop the meat very finely and add the eggs, the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and the nutmeg, and leave to rest for at least 12 hours in the fridge. Roll out the dough on a wooden cutting board with a rolling pin until it is very thin. Cut squares of about 3 centimeters on each side and place a nut of filling on each square. Fold the pasta into a triangle by matching the sides, and wrap the triangle around your finger. Overlapping the two opposite corners, press the tortellino so that the pasta sticks firmly. Cook the tortellini in broth, leave them on for two minutes and serve them.
