Fast Tortelli Meal

Today is a busy day, and I grabbed whatever I could find from the fridge! First was a plastic of Tortelli by Danieli, second is a bottle of sun-dried tomatoes by Baresa, and third is a plastic of Ćevapčići by Harvest!

First off, about Tortelli: there is not much information about it because when I hit Google to read up on this pasta variety, most searches showed up for tortellini, which are ring-shaped or navel-shaped pasta, usually stuffed with meat or cheese, and served in broth and other pasta sauces. Apparently, their names just differ because of the sizes. Tortellini is most likely smaller than tortelli, and tortelloni would be the biggest version of these three. So, there aren't specific measurements to each, but it can easily be put as small (tortellini), medium (tortelli) and large (tortelloni).

Now, there goes our little pasta education for today.

Ingredients

Tortelli
Sun-dried tomates
Cevapcici



Directions

1. Boil the tortelli until cooked. Directions are usually found on the plastic, but you can boil them like you would cook other pasta, but perhaps a bit shorter. Update: To make your own tortellinis, check How To Make Homemade Tortellini from theKitchn.
2. Fry the Cevapcici. Just switch on the stove, and let the low heat cook it slowly. This type of meat has a lot of oil, so it does not need any more preparation, but you can add spices according to your taste.
3. Serve with mayonnaise and/or with a hint of lime, and you are ready to eat!

In Sweden, mayonnaise has a variety of flavors, and I eat this meal with lemon-flavored mayonnaise.
