*Jeni, lucky indeed! You’ll just have to make your own

*Giusi, you know they don’t really seem to do tortellini around here. Or ravioli. Although they do a lot of stuffed vegetables, I don’t see a lot of stuffed pasta, but maybe I’m just peeking in the wrong kitchens….

As for the drying, I don’t understand it either, but it tastes pretty good–they don’t have a long shelf life though I don’t think.

Huh! I betcha anything there’s a lady in your town that would make extra for you and I’ll betcha that some of your neighbors depend on her for their tortellini.

When you come to visit, we’ll make something stuffed, although agnolotti are my fave.

I’m having a hard time figuring out how the stuffing isn’t spoiled by drying, but I trust you.

You are so lucky that you can by tortellini that is good. It is very difficult here. The recipe looks like exactly what I crave!

*PIC, mine too! Glad you like it!

*Giusi, Giusi, Giusi…welcome to the world of dried tortellini! I never saw anything wrong with dried tortellini–in fact, it’s the only kind I can get here in the village unless I make it myself.

And let’s be honest: making it myself really takes away the convenience of this meal….

Wait just a cotton picking minute! Are those dried tortellini? For real? I have never even tasted them. There’s something just strange about drying tortellini… isn’t there?

Yum, that looks so good! I’m a sucker for anything that has ham. And this dish is creamy at the same time!
