Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortelloni and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tortelloni are al dente and float to the top, 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
- In a medium pan over medium-high heat, warm the marinara sauce until it reaches a low simmer. Gently stir in the drained tortelloni until evenly coated.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Divide between two bowls and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
If you prefer a saucier pasta, stir in a tablespoon of pasta cooking water with the marinara.
FAQ
Can I use frozen tortelloni?
Yes, frozen tortelloni works well. Cook according to package directions, usually a minute or two longer than fresh.
Can I substitute the Parmesan?
Absolutely. Pecorino Romano or a blend of Italian cheeses would be delicious alternatives.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water or broth.
