To cook the tortellini, 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 they float to the surface and are tender. Drain them well. They can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, such as marinara or a creamy Alfredo, or simply dressed with butter and Parmesan cheese. They are also excellent added to brothy soups.
