Tortellini with prosciutto is a classic Italian dish known for its rich flavors and comforting texture. Originating from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, tortellini are small, ring-shaped pasta typically filled with a savory mixture of cheeses like ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano, sometimes paired with minced meats. In this version, thinly sliced prosciutto adds a salty, robust flavor that complements the delicate pasta. While tortellini is traditionally enjoyed with light sauces or broths to highlight its filling, cream-based sauces are also common. Nutritionally, tortellini with prosciutto offers a balance of protein and carbohydrates but can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, depending on the filling and preparation. The addition of prosciutto provides protein but also increases the sodium content. Enjoyed in moderation with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad, it can be part of a balanced meal, celebrating the indulgent yet delightful essence of Italian cuisine.
