Open in Pepper →Cheese Tortellini Turns Into Dinner Fast
A bag of cheese tortellini cooks in about the time it takes to brown a pound of beef, and it already has the cheese built in. That means one pan, one pot, and a meal that tastes like you fussed.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights nobody planned ahead — practice runs late, the fridge is thin, and everybody wants something warm in a bowl.
Every recipe here leans on that bag: Cheesy Tortellini Garlic Alfredo, Tomato Tortellini Soup with Italian sausage, Pizza Tortellini, Crockpot tortellini with spinach and turkey kielbasa, One Pot Cheesy Enchilada Tortellini, and skillets with steak or ground beef.
Quick Tips
- 1
Undercook the tortellini slightly
Pull it a minute or two early, around 5 minutes, since it keeps cooking in sauce or soup and turns mushy fast.
- 2
Cook it in the soup
For Tomato Tortellini Soup, drop the tortellini straight into the simmering broth for the last 6 to 7 minutes so it soaks up flavor.
- 3
Save a cup of water
Reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking water before draining; a few splashes loosen a thick Alfredo without thinning the flavor.
- 4
Add spinach at the end
Stir in 2 cups of spinach during the final 5 minutes so it wilts but stays green instead of going gray.
