Method:
1.	For the Veal Crepinette: Season the veal tenderloin with salt and pepper, then saute with some olive oil. Mix the mushrooms in a saucepan together with butter and chopped parsley. Saute until cooked. Season with salt and pepper. On a flat work surface, top the sauteed veal tenderloin with the sauteed mushrooms, & cover with the sliced zucchini. Roll the assembly in the pork net and roast in a pre-heated oven until golden-brown.
2.	For the Artichokes and Bell Peppers: Soak the artichoke bottoms in a bowl of lemon water for about an hour and then blanch the artichoke bottoms in a pot of salted boiling water. Cut them into quarters. Saute the blanched artichokes and bell peppers in a saute pan with some olive oil. Add chopped shallots and season with salt, pepper and chopped thyme.
3.	For the Ravioli Dough: Mix the ingredients together for the dough and knead until firm. Brush the dough with olive oil and vacuum pack it. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Then roll out the dough and trim into 7-cm x 7-cm squares.
4.	For the Fine Herb Filling: Towel dry the parboiled potatoes, then mash and press them through a fine sieve. Mix the potato mash with cream, chopped garlic and chopped parsley, then season with salt, pepper and nutmeg powder. Set aside to cool. Place one teaspoon of filling into the center of each square dough. Brush the edges of the dough with egg yolk and fold into a tortellini. Press edges to seal. Cook the tortellini in boiling, salted water for about 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
5.	For the Barolo Sauce: Saute the shallots and thyme with butter in a saucepan. Flambe with the Barolo and port wine. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by one-third. Pour in the veal jus - reduce again. Season with salt & pepper to taste and then thicken the sauce with dissolved cornstarch.

To Serve:
Arrange the sauteed artichokes on the bottom of a serving dish, top with veal crepinette and the sauteed bell peppers. Place four tortellini beside the veal crepinette and pour Barolo sauce around the dish.
