Novo Pasta Tortellini Ricotta & Parmigiano
What it is
These are small, ring-shaped pasta parcels filled with a creamy blend of ricotta cheese and savory Parmigiano-Reggiano. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a tender yet firm bite when cooked. The filling offers a rich, slightly salty flavor profile that complements the pasta. Each piece is designed to hold its shape and the delicious filling during cooking and serving.
How people cook with it
Filled pasta like this is a versatile ingredient that can be the star of a simple meal or a component in more elaborate dishes.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Simmered in broth
- Served with a light tomato sauce
- Added to pasta salads
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the tortellini to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the tortellini carefully, reserving a little of the pasta water. Toss with your desired sauce or simply with butter and herbs. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify and thicken sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger ravioli, tortellini are smaller and more delicate, making them ideal for lighter preparations or as a component in soups. The specific combination of ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano provides a classic Italian flavor that is distinct from other cheese fillings.

How to keep the rest
