To celebrate their common love for cooking and deep sense of responsibility, Lara and her son Charlie decided to share their recipe for tortellini in broth – made by using up leftover boiled meat.
“Our son Charlie has a rare genetic syndrome. Despite his challenges, he has become an expert pasta maker along with a group of special needs young adults. The Tortellante Project brings together diverse ages and abilities around the table to safeguard the Modenese pasta making tradition. We have learned that the more diversity there is around the table, the more Love (and Tortellini) there will be. Cooking is an act of Love.” - Lara Gilmore
