It's time to try tortelloni! Tortelloni is pretty much the exact same as tortellini, but larger and shaped more like a "belly button." They are usually stuffed with similar fillings as ravioli, like spinach, cheese, or meat. In this recipe, the cheese-stuffed tortelloni is the centerpiece in a gorgeous color combination of red, orange and yellow bell peppers with a pop of green from the spinach. This one is healthy and beautiful! Doesn't get much better than that!
