Nuovo Pasta Classic Cheese Tortelloni
What it is
These are small, ring-shaped pasta parcels filled with a blend of cheeses. The dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, creating a tender yet firm casing. The filling offers a rich, savory flavor that complements the pasta itself. Each piece is designed to hold its shape during cooking, ensuring a satisfying bite.
How people cook with it
Tortelloni are a versatile pasta that can be enjoyed in many ways. They work well with a variety of sauces and preparations.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served with marinara sauce
- Added to a creamy Alfredo
- Mixed into a hearty soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the tortelloni to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the tortelloni, reserving some of the pasta water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little pasta water if needed to create a smooth, cohesive coating. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ravioli, tortelloni are typically smaller and have a distinct ring shape. The filling is often cheese-focused, whereas ravioli can have a wider range of fillings, including meats and vegetables. The texture of tortelloni is generally a bit more delicate.

How to keep the rest
