Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for cooking the tortellini. This will help ensure that the pasta doesn't stick together and cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're cooking a lot of tortellini, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will help enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the dish. This will add flavor, texture, and color.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the red pepper flakes or use a milder variety of chili pepper.
  • Serve the tortellini immediately topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This spicy tortellini is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking.
