To prepare the tortelloni, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh tortelloni to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.

Unlike dried tortelloni, fresh tortelloni cooks much faster due to its higher moisture content. The pasta dough is also often more tender and delicate. This freshness contributes to a softer texture and a more pronounced pasta flavor that complements the filling.
