Tortellini Artusiani is a classic dish from the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Legend has it that it was inspired by the navel of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

According to the story, a young innkeeper fell in love with a beautiful woman who came to his inn one day. He spied on her through the keyhole of her room and caught a glimpse of her belly button, which was so perfect that it inspired him to create a new pasta shape in its likeness – the tortellini.

The dish is made by filling small circles of fresh pasta with a mixture of pork loin, prosciutto, mortadella, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, eggs, nutmeg, and black pepper. The pasta is then folded in half to create a semi-circle shape, and the edges are pressed together to form the distinctive tortellini shape.

Tortellini Artusiani are served in a rich creamy Parmigiano-Reggiano sauce.

Tortellini Artusiani is a beloved dish in Emilia-Romagna, and it has become popular all over the world. Its rich history and unique shape make it a must-try for anyone visiting the region, and its delicious flavor and comforting broth make it the perfect dish for a chilly evening.
