To make the squid ink pasta, blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor and roll into a ball. Wrap in cling film and leave in fridge to rest for 1 hour

For the filling, place the scallops and cream in a food processor and pulse until blended and thick. Season to taste with salt and transfer to a piping bag
3
Using a pasta machine, roll out the pasta to its thinnest setting. Cut out 4 discs of the pasta using a round 9.5cm diameter cutter
4
Pipe the mousse in the middle of each disc. Lightly brush one side of the disc with water and fold the pasta over the filling, smoothing it down to remove any air pockets. Fold the corners around the edges to create tortellini

Bring a pan of salted water on the hob, bring to the boil and blanch the tortellini for 1 minute. Refresh in iced water and set aside until needed

For the scallop velouté, place a frying pan on the stove to get hot. Place the scallop roes in the pan to release the juices then add the white wine and reduce by half
