Tortellini is a traditional Italian pasta known for its small, ring-shaped design, often described as resembling tiny dumplings. Originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, tortellini is typically filled with a mixture of ingredients such as cheese, meats like prosciutto or pork, and sometimes spinach or nutmeg for added flavor. This versatile pasta can be served in a broth, with a rich cream sauce, or tossed with vegetables and olive oil. Tortellini provides a good source of carbohydrates and protein, particularly if stuffed with high-protein ingredients or paired with nutrient-rich additions like vegetables. However, the healthiness of tortellini can vary depending on preparation—cream-based sauces and heavy fillings may increase calorie and fat content. Opting for whole-grain versions and lighter accompaniments can make tortellini a more balanced and nutritious choice.
