    1. 1. Prepare broth. Heat oven to 450'. To make filling, roast squash, cut side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, for 30 min. Remove from oven; when cold sufficient to handle, scoop out flesh and mash it.

    4. 3. To make dough, place flour in a mound on a clean surface. Make a well and add in the whole Large eggs, 2 yolks, 1 t salt, and 1 Tablespoons water. Mix egg and water with a fork till most of the flour is incorporated. Form dough into a ball and knead till it is hard, smooth, and elastic, about 5 min.
    5. 4. Divide dough into 4 pcs, shaping each piece into a flat round, and wrap in plastic to keep from drying.
    6. 5. Dust both sides of 1 piece of dough with flour and feed it through a pasta maker on the widest setting. Fold into thirds; repeat 3 times.

Place 1 t of filling in the center of each square; fold down the top point to create a triangle. Gently press edges to seal. Brush the point opposite the longest edge with egg wash; fold down the other points to the center and press together. As you complete each tortelloni, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment and dusted with semolina. (Do not allow tortelloni to touch.)
    8. 7. Repeat from step 5 with remaining dough till filling is used up.
