OK, maybe not ALL my life, but as long as I’ve been cooking gluten-free foods, I’ve looked for gluten-free tortellini and have never found any (other than mail order frozen stuff which never looked appealing.) This is fresh pasta, found in the refrigerator section (although could potentially be found in the freezer section) AND there is a dairy free version as well. Cue the heavenly choir!
Manini’s is a local company here in the greater Seattle area (I’m not affiliated), but they have a wide presence and you can find their products through Amazon Fresh. Their 4 cheese tortelloni (not sure where they are getting their spelling from but I guess I’ll adopt it here) is a favorite with my youngest son and I enjoy it too, although the real reason I have searched high and low for this sort of pasta is to make tortellini soup. My oldest requires the dairy-free version so I plan on making the soup using the dairy free version when he’s home from college over the holidays.
Have a festive Thanksgiving to all those in the U.S. this week. I am grateful for you!!
Lucky you having those two great options ! The only gluten-free pasta I can get here is dried and pretty uninspiring! I hope you’re well? It’s the rainy season here now – I guess it is with you too…
I was pretty excited about the fresh pasta indeed! And yes, rainy here too. November is usually the rainiest month of the year here although we were blessed for about a week of sunshine which sadly just ended.
Looks yummy! I just had to google the difference between tortellini and tortelloni. LOL
According to Wikipedia: “While tortellini have a meat-based filling, tortelloni are filled with ricotta and sometimes with parsley or spinach. Moreover, while tortellini are traditionally cooked in and served with broth, tortelloni are cooked in water, stir-fried (traditionally with butter and sage) and served dry.”
I’ve never had tortellini so apparently I am a tortelloni fan! 🙂
Oh thank you for looking it up! When I looked it up it just looked like a misspelling! I have never heard of tortellini having a meat based filling so I guess I am a tortelloni fan too :0)
