Tortellini is a stuffed pasta made by stuffing a round, flat piece of pasta dough with a filling (frequently a combination of cheese, meat, herbs and vegetables) and folding it into an open-centered ring. Legend has it that this pasta was created to honor the navel of Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty. Tortellini can be made fresh, purchased fresh or purchased frozen.
