If you’re anything like me, you always include a pack or two of tortellini or ravioli in the weekly shop. They make an unbelievably convenient dinner, because really, has anybody got time to make ravioli from scratch on a weeknight? There’s also a huge variety of different fillings, to suit a wide range of taste buds.

Back in the day, I’d grab a store-bought sauce and be done with it. Nowadays, I’ve learnt the potential of tortellini and ravioli in creating easy homemade meals that are full of flavour and use simple ingredients.

Here I’ve rounded up my very best filled pasta recipes. I’ve got tortellini and ravioli here together, as most recipes are interchangeable. Having said that, we’ll start with tortellini recipes, then move on to the ravioli recipes. Follow me…
