  • Use a Large Pan: A large pan will give the tortellini plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: If you're cooking a lot of tortellini, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the Tortellini Al Dente: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Make a Flavorful Sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish. Use a combination of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful and savory sauce.
  • Add Some Heat: If you like spicy food, add some red pepper flakes or chili powder to the sauce. You can also add some chopped jalapeƱos for an extra kick.
  • Serve with Parmesan Cheese: Parmesan cheese is the perfect finishing touch to this dish. It adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the sauce and tortellini perfectly.
