To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh 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. You can then toss them with your preferred sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or a simple butter and herb sauce. They are also delicious added to brothy soups.
