How people cook with it
These delicate pasta shapes are perfect for adding a special touch to weeknight dinners or elegant entertaining. They cook in just a few minutes.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served in a light broth
- Mixed with a creamy sauce
- As a side dish
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the rose 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 carefully, reserving a little of the pasta water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or butter and herbs. The pasta water can be used to help emulsify and coat the sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard tortellini, the rose shape offers a more decorative presentation. The delicate petals can also affect how the sauce clings to the pasta. This shape is often made with a thinner dough, leading to a quicker cooking time and a more tender bite.
