What’s the difference between Tortellini and Tortelloni?
It’s easy to confuse Tortellini and Tortelloni considering there’s only a one-letter difference in the name, and they are essentially the same thing. Tortellini and Tortelloni are both “ring-shaped” pasta that are usually filled with some kind of ingredient, much like dumplings. They may be stuffed with meat, cheese, or other things like spinach.
The main difference between Tortellini and Tortelloni is the size . Tortelloni is larger than Tortellini. However, you may see them used interchangeably from time to time.
How do you serve Tortelloni?
Torteolloni is a simple stuffed pasta that can be served in many ways. In this recipe, I added it into a hearty soup along with Turkey sausage, garlic, chicken broth, and a few other tasty ingredients. You could also serve it more like a dumpling, and just cover it with a flavorful sauce or broth (with lots of cheese on top if you’re like me). Or make this tortellini pasta salad !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
