- Potluck contribution
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the tortelloni to the boiling water. Stir them occasionally to prevent sticking. The tortelloni will float to the surface when they are cooked. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them carefully and toss with your favorite sauce. A simple butter and sage sauce or a light tomato sauce works well. You can also add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, fresh tortelloni cook much faster. The filling provides a distinct savory flavor from the combination of chicken and cured ham. The delicate pasta casing allows the filling to be the star of the dish.
