"Tortellini are one of the most delicious things that came out of Italian cuisine. The filled pasta dream, which by the way translates to 'little cakes' in German, has its origins in the northern province of Bologna. You can have them with different fillings such as spinach, veal, and pork. Although in some regions cheese (ricotta and parmesan) and sausage (mortadella) is also wuite the popular filling. Traditionally, tortellini are served in a hearty broth or with a creamy sauce. For our version, we were inspired by none other than lasagna to have the best of both worlds, all in one dish. This tortellini-lasagna mashup may not be one hundred percent 'tipico italiano', but anyone who gives it a try, especially a traditional lover of both, will go 'Buono!' after just one bite."
