Tortellini FAQs

READ OUR GUIDE TO TORTELLINI

How long should you cook tortellini?

Fresh tortellini should be cooked for approximately 2 minutes, whilst tortelloni should be cooked for 3-4 minutes until all pieces have floated to the surface. If the filled pasta begins to rupture and the contents spill into the pasta water, you’ll know you’ve overcooked it.

How to cook pasta to perfection

What’s the difference between tortellini and tortelloni?

While both pasta shapes are similar in appearance and name, there are distinct differences between the two. Tortellini is a ring-shaped filled pasta from Emilia-Romagna, usually stuffed with a hearty meat filling and served in broth. Tortelloni is larger and traditionally contains a mix of cheeses and vegetarian fillings.

What should I serve tortellini with?

For an authentic experience, serve tortellini in a traditional chicken broth. With tortelloni, the contents of the pasta is the real star of the show, so we recommend serving with a traditional herby butter rather than a heavier sauce.
