Techniques
  • tortellini
Boil the tortellini for less than the packet says: about seven minutes where it says ten.

  • 50 g plain flour
  • 500 ml milk
For the bechamel, melt the butter, add the flour, and straight away start adding the milk a little at a time.

Toward the end, add a little cinnamon and parmesan.
  • cinnamon
  • parmesan cheese
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • pig cheek
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the pig cheek a couple of minutes.
  • truffle cream
Add the bechamel and a little truffle cream and mix well; add a splash of milk only if too dense.
Cooking the pig cheek
Add the tortellini and mix until well coated.
Truffle cream sauce and tortellini

Mix in cubed provolone, then cover the top with more provolone.
