Tortellini with Sea Bass

Tortellini is a type of stuffed pasta native to the Emilia-Romagna region. They look like small dumplings, but in fact, they are closer to dumplings since the filling for tortellini is always ready. Due to their small size, tortellini is not very juicy, so they are either served in broths or seasoned with a lot of sauce.
