H-E-B Ricotta & Spinach Tortelloni
What it is
These are delicate pasta pockets filled with creamy ricotta cheese and tender spinach. The tortelloni are shaped into a ring or a small knot, a classic Italian pasta form. They are pre-made and ready to be heated and served, offering a convenient and flavorful meal option. The filling provides a smooth texture and a mild, savory taste that complements the pasta dough.
How people cook with it
Tortelloni are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple preparations to more elaborate dishes.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served in a light tomato sauce
- Added to a creamy Alfredo
- Mixed into a hearty vegetable soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the tortelloni, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for the time indicated on the package, typically just a few minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain gently. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of cheese. They are best served immediately to enjoy their fresh texture and warm filling.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike ravioli, which are typically square, tortelloni are ring-shaped. This shape can affect how they hold sauce. The filling of ricotta and spinach offers a lighter, more delicate flavor profile compared to some meat-filled pasta varieties.

Home cooks looking for a quick and satisfying pasta meal will appreciate this product.
