Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by boiling a large pot of salted water and adding in the cheese tortellini. This part is super easy and fills my kitchen with that wonderful carb-heavy aroma that we all love. I usually cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, which is around 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface. While that’s going on, I like to preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for the next step. I can already smell the deliciousness! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
