Tortelloni are stuffed
pasta, the same shape as
tortellini, but larger. They are usually stuffed with
Ricotta cheese and
leaf vegetables, such as
spinach. Many "exotic" variants exist where the vegetables are replaced with stronger ingredients such as
porcini or
walnuts. Another common filling for tortelloni is a paste made mainly of
pumpkin pulp.
Tortelloni are usually served either with
ragù or with melted
butter and
sage leaves.
