A divine type of pasta

Tortelloni not only taste heavenly, but truly have a divine origin. Have you ever wondered why these delicious little dumplings have such a special shape? If you believe an old legend, it's because they are shaped like Venus' navel. The goddess of love went to an inn, on a visit to Bologna, the home of tortellini. The cook could only catch a glimpse of her - and of her belly button, and made the pasta from there.

Tortellini vs. tortelloni?!

You almost overlook the small but subtle difference in spelling when reading. But maybe you've already asked yourself what the difference is between tortellini and tortelloni? Let's find out! Both types of pasta come from Italy, are filled and popular with everyone. However, they differ both in size and in their original filling: tortelloni are slightly larger dumplings and always have a vegetarian filling. The original tortellini are slightly smaller and traditionally filled with meat. KoRo's spinach and ricotta tortellini, however, are guaranteed not to contain meat, but only a 100% vegetarian and 100% delicious filling of ricotta and spinach. These days, it has also become acceptable to fill not only tortelloni but also tortellini with vegetarian or even vegan fillings - even in Italy. Are you interested in tortellini with a vegan filling? Then try our organic pumpkin and apple tortellini.

What should you eat tortelloni with?

Originally, in Bologna, tortelloni were eaten only as a soup garnish. We love them way too much to only eat them in soups. There are so many possibilities: we love to make some pine nut pesto, which through its fine and lightly almonds-like aroma combines perfectly with the tortelloni. But a vegetarian bolognese sauce or a cream sauce with mushrooms are also great to put on the filled pasta. No time to cook or simply too lazy today? We make life easy for you: Grab a jar of KoRo's pesto verde or our pesto rosso and add to the cooked tortellini for a super quick meal! Our tomato sauces with basil, olives or mushrooms are also simple and delicious solutions for a quick lunch. Our tip: top your pasta with some vegan cashew parmesan for a vegan cheesy touch!
