I used to make tortellini all the time as it’s a pretty cheap and very quick meal. For some reason though I’ve not made it in a few months so seemed like a nice thing to have again.
While I was waiting for water to boil I did some research into the origins of the pasta and came across The Learned Order of the Tortellini based in Bologna the home of tortellini and they take preserving tortellini tradition pretty seriously!

They have some pretty swanky outfits and wear fancy gold tortellini necklaces and tortellini shaped hats, if I lived in Bologna I think these would be my people.

Anyway that was enough history, time to do some cooking!

I ‘made’ the sauce by frying red onion and pepper and mixing in the premade sauce I’d bought. Added to the cooked tortellini and was done. Super easy!

And delicious! Tortellini day… 8/10 It’s a good meal and I should make it more often.
