What You Should Know

A refrigerated, plant-based take on classic ricotta tortellini you’d spot in the prepared meals or refrigerated pasta aisle — great for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe (think family pasta night) while leaning into a modern, wholesome spin with almond-based ricotta. The ingredient list is short and recognizable, suggesting fresh-style processing to form filled pasta rather than heavy industrial ultra-processing, so expect soft, fresh pasta texture with minimal synthetic additives.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed packaged food made from recognizable ingredients (almonds, potatoes, wheat, salt, cultures) and formed into filled pasta; it lacks the long list of industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods but is more than minimally processed.

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.
