Simply add this unique pasta variety (stuffed shells that resemble mini-croissants or wontons) to any soup and you will transform your dish into an Italian classic.
Fresh tortellini will cook much faster (typically 2-3 minutes) than dried options (typically 10-12 minutes). While filled pastas, like tortellini, are usually ready when they float to the top, it’s always a good idea to do an al dente taste-test: soft but with a little bite to it.
Definitely. Remember that leftovers will compromise on texture and the pasta will soften more with each passing day. An idea is to cook and store the tortellini separately and then simply add to your leftover soup during the reheating process.
Cook like any other pasta: add it to a pot of gently boiling, salted water.
