Tortelloni are a stuffed pasta common in northern Italy, with a shape similar to tortellini, but larger and with a cheese-based filling. They are traditionally stuffed with ricotta, Parmesan, leafy herbs or vegetables such as parsley or spinach, egg and nutmeg.[1][2]
Some variants replace the vegetables with other flavorful ingredients, such as porcini or walnuts. A common filling, especially in the provinces of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio Emilia, is a paste made mainly of pumpkin pulp and amaretti biscuits.[citation needed]
When traditionally made with ricotta and herbs, after boiling they are often stir-fried with melted butter and sage leaves, and covered with grated Parmesan.[1]
As one of the few northern Italian pasta dishes with no meat content, they are a traditional dish for Christmas Eve.[2]
