Sage butter and blue-cheese tortellini: We infused tricolour to the tortellini to honour the 26th of January when the constitution of India came into effect. Tortellini is a pasta from Italy traditionally stuffed with parmigiana Reggiano cheese, egg and nutmeg. This pasta was inspired by Italian medieval legends about Venus and Zeus's involvement in a battle. An interesting fact about tortellini is that this recipe was first made in 1570 to recycle leftover pasta by stuffing it with available ingredients.
