Tortellini
Tortellini is a type of pasta, similar to ravioli, originally from Bologna (Italy), that is stuffed with meat, or, more rarely, with cheese. It is usually served in a sauce or soup. Tortelloni is a larger version of ravioli and is usually stuffed with cheese.
The name derives from the Italian word meaning cake.
