Ingredients
For the pasta
700g/1½lb bakers flour, plus extra for dusting
4 eggs
Olive Oil & Salt
For the Marron 2 raw marron Salt, pepper & dill Egg whites Drizzle of cream
Preparation method
Whisk the eggs.
Pour the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
Add a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Pour the whisked eggs into the well and gradually mix with either a blunt knife or your hands. When the dough has become a thick paste use your hands to incorporate more of the flour.
You can sieve any remaining flour and use the sifted flour while you knead the dough to stop it sticking to the surface and to your hands, but be careful not to make the dough too dry. Knead until well blended and the dough is soft and flexible. Don't worry if you haven't used up all the flour.
Leave the pasta to rest for about an hour with a bowl inverted over it or leave it covered in cling film. You can sieve any leftover flour again and save this flour for rolling out the pasta.
Meanwhile, for the filling,
Place marron into a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 ½ minutes, then using tongs transfer marron to a large bowl of iced water. Once chilled, remove the claws and head. Carefully crack the marron tail open and remove the meat. Using a nut cracker, carefully crack the claw shells and remove the meat.
Mince the flesh from the Marron.
Add a pinch of salt, pepper and a sprinkling of dill.
For binding add a couple of egg whites and a drizzle of cream for the binding
Blend this altogether.
Roll out the pasta into a long, wide strip about 2 mm in thickness, either by hand or using a machine. When you can see your hand through it, it is ready for stuffing.
Now take a small wine glass or round cutter measuring about 7cm/3in across and cut out 4 circles of pasta around each mound of filling.
Place teaspoons of the filling in a line down the centre of one of the strips
Fold the pasta as instructed in the video
To cook, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and gently lower in the tortellini. Cook for about four minutes or until the pasta is soft but not floppy.
When the pasta is done, drain it & serve immediately

On August 12th 2012, the curtain will fall on the London Summer Olympics. Much has been said about the legacy of the games and how it could benefit the city and its population, but only time will tell if this can be achieved.
One place London could learn from is Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. The resort was host to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and they are proud of the lasting impact the events have had.
With a vastly improved highway, two brand new competition venues, Whistler Olympic Plaza, the Athletes' Village housing complex and the lifelong memories gained from hosting the world, Whistler will never be the same.
One of the most scenic highways in the world, the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, received many upgrades in preparation for the Games. The route is now straighter with more passing lanes and turn-outs. The breathtaking scenery stays the same but the route is now faster, wider, safer and more convenient.
After the Games, the Whistler Sliding Centre and Whistler Olympic Park are now used for local sports and recreation, public tours, special events and high-calibre competitions such as World Cups. Whistler Olympic Plaza brings a new social gathering place to Whistler Village where residents and visitors alike can watch live music and theatre in the band shell, have a picnic on the expansive lawn or play a game of catch or Frisbee.
The Athletes' Village neighbourhood is now home to Whistler residents as an affordable housing complex. Also in the area is a brand new youth hostel and high performace gym with lodging for athletes in training. Located at the south end of Whistler, the complex has spectacular views and is a cozy community for Whistler employees.
From working and volunteering with the Games to welcoming people from all over the world into their homes with the Homestay program, Whistler's vibrant community is forever changed by this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
