To prepare 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 a few minutes, until the tortellini float to the surface and are tender. Drain them well.
