How to cook tortellini?

Question

I have Olivieri's tortellini and it's 750g. It says to put it in a pot of salted boiling water...how much water & salt do I put in?
Thanks.

Oh sorry I forgot to add this:
what temperature should I cook it at?

Answer 1

There should be enough water for the pasta to move around freely without clumping up (at least 2 quarts). Salt is a necessity when cooking pasta (or potatoes). How much salt is up to you. For 2 quarts of water, I use about 1 tablespoon of salt.

As for the temperature, after adding the pasta, bring it back to a boil on high heat. As soon as it is boiling again, turn it down so that it doesn't roil (boil vigorously). Usually a medium to medium low setting will work (but use the WATER as your guide here.)

They are done when they all float. Good luck and bon appetit!

Answer 5

Large pot with lots of water and about a Tbsp of salt. Bring it to a boil and drop them in and cook per directions on package. More water the better, that way they don't clump.

Answer 6

sure. You can BUY frozen tortellini. Shouldn't be any different than freezing lasagna.

Answer 7

750g is about 3 cups, but I just add enough to cover the pasta well, and give it room to develop a rolling boil. Salt - oh, a couple-three good dashes should do it.

Answer 8

I used a stock pot and fill 3/4s....as for the salt...that depends on your liking...my nonnie (italian grandma) used to add enough to where you could just taste the saltiness of the water

Answer 9

Hurrah, that's what I was looking for! Thanks op of this question.
