Potato-and-Sausage Torrelli with Ragù

(Tortelli di Patate alle Salsicce con ragù)

The recipe makes more pasta dough than you'll need for the tortelli. Roll out the extra, and cut it into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons for pappardelle, 1/4-inch-wide ribbons for fettuccine, or any length and width you prefer. The pasta can then be used fresh, or it can be dried for use at a later time (leave the pasta on floured kitchen towels at room temperature until it is dry). Or use all of the dough for any recipe that calls for one pound of fresh pasta.
