Tortellini stands as the legendary pasta with a tale to tell. According to the story, the Goddess Venus once lodged at an inn in the Italian city of Bologna. The innkeeper, attempting to catch a glimpse of her through the keyhole, could only see her navel. Inspired by this sight, he hurried to his kitchen and crafted the pasta we now know as tortellini, shaped like a navel. These delightful pasta pillows have since become a favorite among pasta enthusiasts worldwide. So, on February 13, whether you savor them with butter and sage or pair them with prosciutto and parmesan, raise a fork to honor National Tortellini Day.
