Let’s be honest: we spend hours worrying about pasta. This is the silliest, most delightful debate in cooking.
It’s a litmus test for your entire life. Are you a sinker or a floater? Right now, you’re probably a floater.
And look at the shape. Tortellini is literally named after a little cake in Italian. It’s a belly button pasta!
Quirky Fact: The Noodle That Fooled the World
Legend says tortellini was inspired by a goddess’s navel. Venus, to be exact. An innkeeper peeked through a keyhole and saw her belly button.
He ran to the kitchen and shaped pasta to match. That’s right: you eat goddess belly buttons. And they float!
If Venus’s navel can float, yours can too. It’s a beautiful, chaotic, delicious universe.
