What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated fresh pasta or plant-based prepared foods section — a quick option for weeknight dinners or a cozy weekend meal. It feels comforting and wholesome with a plant-forward twist; the ingredient list is mostly recognizable (almmond-milk ricotta, breadcrumbs, potatoes) though small processing aids like tartaric acid and enzymes signal a packaged, processed prepared food rather than a homemade dish.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from processed component foods (almond-milk ricotta, breadcrumbs, rehydrated potatoes) with minor additives for acidity and texture; it is a packaged prepared pasta rather than an ultraprocessed industrial formulation, so it fits NOVA 3.

Common Questions about Ricotta Tortellini, 9 OZ

The Ricotta Tortellini can be a tasty part of a balanced diet! With 10 grams of protein per serving, it packs a decent protein punch, especially compared to traditional pasta. However, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not particularly high in fiber and does contain some sodium, so pairing it with lots of veggies and a light sauce can make it a more nutritious meal.
