Tortelloni in Brodo

These are lovely little lumps of veal, mortadella and parmigiano cozily wrapped in their doughy bathrobes with arms folded. They took the plunge in a beef shank broth with just a pinch of parsley. Simpler the better.

The entire meal, for my son's 18th birthday was crostini di polenta, calamari fritti, insalata di finnochio, saltimboca alla Romana con gnocchi di patate, and tiramisu to finish. Getting the Italian groove on.
