Facts About Tortellini
Tortellini are ring-shaped pasta originally from the Italian region of Emilia. They are sometimes also described as "navel shaped", hence their alternative name of "belly button", and bear a strong resemblance to a large wonton. Traditionally they are stuffed with a mix of meat, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, egg and nutmeg and served in capon broth.
While in the area of origin they are usually sold fresh or home-made, industrially packed, dried and refrigerated or frozen tortellini appear in many locations around the world, especially where there are large Italian communities.
