Tortellini with Lamb Sauce is a hearty Italian dish that combines delicate pasta with a robust, flavorful meat sauce. Originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, tortellini are small, ring-shaped pasta typically filled with cheese, spinach, or meat. In this variation, the tortellini serve as the perfect vehicle for a rich lamb sauce made with slow-cooked lamb, tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme. This dish offers a balanced source of protein from the lamb and carbohydrates from the pasta while providing key vitamins and antioxidants from the tomato-based sauce. However, due to its richness, it can be high in saturated fats and calories, depending on the meat-to-pasta ratio and preparation method. Pairing it with a side of fresh greens can add fiber and nutrients to balance the meal, making it a satisfying and indulgent option for special occasions.
