Singular of tortellini?

Question

ok so tortellini is like a group of the noodles, what is a singular noodle of tortellini called?

Answer 1

I just use the same word. Like, "I just took a bite out of this delicious tortellini on my fork."

From my knowledge of Italian, I'd say it's prolly "tortellino," though.

Answer 2

Just can't resist...TORTELLINUS

Answer 3

When have you ever eaten just one???  It's a collective noun...like moose.  You have way too much time on your hands.  Why don't you cook some tortellini (or one tortelline?????lol) and enjoy it.

Answer 4

tor·tel·li·ni

n.

Pasta in small rings stuffed usually with meat or cheese and served in soup or with a sauce.

[Italian, diminutive of tortelli, a kind of pasta, pl. diminutive of torta, cake, from Late Latin torta, a kind of bread.]

so torta is the singular

Answer 5

Singular tortellino, plural tortellini

Singular tortello, plural tortelli

Singular torta, plural torte (not a pasta)
