with Cheese and Garlic Ciabatta
In Mexican cuisine, fajita refers to strips of grilled meat and veg that are fried and spiced with smoky and peppery seasonings. This Fajita Flavours Spinach & Ricotta Tortelloni uses chipotle to give a similar smokiness to the sauce, which pairs perfectly with the creamy filling of the pasta.
