How to Cook Frozen Tortellini

A package of frozen tortellini will last months in your refrigerator and there are many delicious ways to cook and serve it!

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a light boil and add the frozen tortellini. Do not let thaw before cooking.
  • Stir to minimize any clumping.
  • Don’t bring to a boil but let simmer.
  • Cook 3-4 minutes or until ala dente. Do not overcook as the pasta will keep cooking while in the oven.
