- Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is the key to a great tortellini dish. Use a flavorful tomato sauce or pesto sauce, and add plenty of fresh herbs and spices.
- Serve the tortellini immediately. Tortellini is best served hot and fresh out of the pot. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook the tortellini and sauce separately and then reheat them just before serving.
