Priano Five Cheese Tortellini
What it is
Priano Five Cheese Tortellini are small, ring-shaped pasta parcels filled with a blend of five distinct cheeses. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a tender bite. The cheese filling usually includes ricotta, Parmesan, Asiago, Romano, and mozzarella, offering a rich and savory flavor profile. These tortellini are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-inspired dish with minimal preparation.
How people cook with it
These cheese-filled pasta shapes are versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of quick meals.
- Tossed with marinara sauce
- Served in broth
- Mixed with pesto
- Drizzled with butter and herbs
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the tortellini to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until the tortellini float to the surface and are tender. Drain them well and then toss them with your favorite sauce, such as a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo, or just a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs. They are best served immediately after cooking.
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 blend of five cheeses also provides a more complex and robust flavor than a single-cheese filling. Their size makes them cook quickly and absorb sauces effectively.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortellini in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain their freshness and texture. Ensure they are kept cool and dry until ready for their next use.
