3/4 of the pork cooking liquid

Place everything into food processor and blitz into smooth paste. Add the liquid in spoon by spoon to make sure you keep a paste that holds and don’t make it too wet.

Once pasta sheets have been created, trim into squares (use video as a guide) and then pipe small dollop of filling into the middle (you will have filling leftover, you can freeze). Spray with some cold water and then fold dough over to create a triangle. Flatten around filling, removing any air pockets and then connect the two furthest points to make the tortellini.
