To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the tricolor tortellini primavera to the boiling water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, typically just a few minutes, until the tortellini float to the surface and are tender. Drain them carefully. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, add them to a soup, or serve them as a side dish. They absorb flavors beautifully, making them a great base for many culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
