Cheese tortellini is a type of stuffed pasta originating from Italian cuisine, particularly the Emilia-Romagna region. These small, ring-shaped pockets of dough are traditionally filled with a blend of creamy cheeses such as ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, often enhanced with herbs and spices for flavor. Tortellini is commonly enjoyed in broth, with a light sauce, or as part of a hearty pasta dish. While cheese tortellini is rich in protein and calcium from the dairy filling, it is also relatively high in carbohydrates and calories due to the pasta dough. It can be part of a balanced diet if paired with nutrient-dense sides like fresh vegetables or lean proteins. As a versatile dish, it appeals to those seeking comfort food with authentic Italian flavors while offering options to adjust portion sizes or toppings for healthier variations.
