Pasta is a traditional Italian cuisine. We made tortellini pasta. Tortellini are typically stuffed with a mix of meat or cheese and originally from Italian region of Emilia. In Italy they are usually served in a broth but at our house we like having it with a creamy sauce.
It is a simple meal to make as you need to just boil the pasta until cooked, add what ever you want to have with it and mix and finally add the sauce.
