It is a convenient way to enjoy homemade-style pasta without the preparation.

To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the tortellini to the boiling water. Stir occasionally 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 carefully and toss with your favorite sauce, butter, or broth. They are best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the texture of the fresh pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried tortellini, fresh tortellini cooks much faster and has a more tender, delicate pasta texture. The filling also tends to be softer and more yielding. Dried versions often require a longer cooking time and can have a firmer bite to the pasta itself.
