Thunderous Tyrannosaurus Tortellini
Thunderous Tyrannosaurus Tortellini is a dish that will make you feel like a king or queen. The tortellini is made with a paleo-friendly dough, so you can indulge without guilt. The filling is a mixture of chopped broccoli, carrots, and celery, which are sautéed in garlic and olive oil until tender. The tortellini is then cooked in the same skillet, so that it absorbs all of the delicious flavors. Once the tortellini is cooked, it is removed from heat and served immediately. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, if desired.
I have always been a fan of tortellini. I love the way the pasta dough wraps around the filling, creating a little pocket of deliciousness. But I have to admit, I have never been a huge fan of the traditional fillings. Ricotta cheese and spinach? Sausage and fennel? They're just not my thing. I wanted to create a tortellini filling that was more to my taste, something that was hearty and flavorful. And so, Thunderous Tyrannosaurus Tortellini was born.

Why It Works
  • The paleo-friendly dough is made with almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut flour. This gives the tortellini a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture.
  • The filling is a mixture of chopped broccoli, carrots, and celery. These vegetables are sautéed in garlic and olive oil until tender, so that they are flavorful and have a slight crunch.
  • The tortellini is cooked in the same skillet as the vegetables, so that it absorbs all of the delicious flavors.
  • Once the tortellini is cooked, it is removed from heat and served immediately. This prevents the tortellini from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • You can garnish the tortellini with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, if desired. This will add a touch of freshness and flavor to the dish.
