Description

Frozen cheese tortellini is a type of stuffed pasta originating from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy. These small rings of pasta are traditionally filled with a mixture of creamy cheeses, such as ricotta and parmesan, which give them a mild and delicate flavor. Their compact shape and savory filling make them ideal for preparing quick and nutritious dishes, in addition to being very versatile in the kitchen.

Tortellini is very popular in different Latin American countries, where it is also known as "frozen stuffed pasta" or simply "frozen tortellini". In some regions, it may be called "stuffed gnocchi" or "cheese-stuffed pasta", depending on the local context, although the term "tortellini" is widely recognized.

This frozen ingredient retains all the nutritional properties of cheese, being a good source of protein and calcium. Furthermore, as pasta, it provides energy quickly thanks to its carbohydrates. It is ideal for preparing soups, creams, sauces, or simply for boiling and serving with a dressing, making it easy to prepare both everyday and festive recipes.
