What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated fresh pasta or vegan prepared foods section — a plant-based spin on classic cheese-filled tortellini that’s ready to heat and serve. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe with a wholesome, convenient twist; ingredients like potato flakes, canola oil and a packaged "roasted garlic flavor" hint at some industrial processing used to smooth texture and boost flavor while most components remain recognizable.
