March 25, 2019 | Search Recipes Here

Tortellini is an Italian favorite which is reminiscent of ravioli but is ring-shaped. It is sometimes affectionately referred to as the “belly button” pasta because of its shape. LIke ravioli, tortellini can be filled with almost everything, but the filling is usually cheese or meat. Most of the following recipes use cheese tortellini, prepared in a package either refrigerated or frozen. You could be adventurous and make your own tortellini. Typically, you can cook it in about 10 minutes. Homemade tortellini is softer and cooks quickly. It is important not to overcook tortellini so it becomes mushy, but ideally, the tortellini should be al dente, or slightly firm. The following recipes provide diverse ideas for this versatile pasta which can be enjoyed deep-fried, in soups, salads, hot or cold. If you keep a package of tortellini in your fridge, you will always have something handy to prepare if you want something the whole family can enjoy.
