BERTOLLI Three Cheese Tortellini
What it is
BERTOLLI Three Cheese Tortellini are small, ring-shaped pasta parcels filled with a blend of ricotta, parmesan, and asiago cheeses. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, creating a tender yet firm casing. These tortellini are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-inspired dish at home. They are pre-cooked and ready to be heated, making meal preparation quick and easy.
How people cook with it
These cheese-filled pasta shapes are versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes.
- Tossed with marinara sauce
- Added to chicken soup
- Served with a simple butter and herb sauce
- Mixed into a creamy Alfredo
To prepare, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the frozen tortellini and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are heated through. Drain them gently. They can then be combined with your favorite sauce, added to a hearty soup, or simply tossed with a little butter and fresh herbs for a quick and satisfying meal. Avoid overcooking to maintain their delicate texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other filled pastas like ravioli, tortellini are typically smaller and have a more pronounced ring shape. The specific cheese blend of ricotta, parmesan, and asiago offers a balanced, savory flavor profile that is distinct from single-cheese fillings.

How to keep the rest
Keep the package frozen until ready to use. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly and store any remaining tortellini in the freezer. Consume within the recommended timeframe to ensure best quality and freshness. Proper storage prevents freezer burn and maintains the pasta's texture.
