Preparation
Pour the ricotta into a large bowl and process with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Combine grated Parmesan cheese, a little lemon juice (without overdoing it), a pinch of salt, a grind of pepper, and some grated lemon zest. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Wash the arugula under running water, dry it carefully and chop it finely. Add it to the ricotta mixture and mix again.
Place a slice of bresaola on a work surface and arrange a teaspoon of the prepared mixture in the center.
Fold the slice into a crescent shape, putting light pressure on the edges to seal the filling well.
Fold the two ends toward the center and gently press them together to shape the tortellone. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used up.
Arrange the tortelloni on a serving plate and top with a few fresh arugula leaves, grated lemon zest, parmesan flakes and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
