Tortellini en Brodo

Tortellini en Brodo, or tortellini in broth, is a delicious, light, and flavorful North Italian dish. You can make your own tortellini for this as well, although a high-quality packaged version tastes wonderful as well (and it is much faster).

Tortellini en Brodo

4 cups water
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
16 oz. packaged tortellini (with cheese filling)
2 teaspoons turmeric
salt and black pepper

Finely chop parsley.

Meanwhile, bring water and broth to a boil. When it begins to boil, lower heat to medium and add tortellini, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Allow tortellini to cook according to package directions (typically 5-8 minutes for the pasta to become al dente), and finish with parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!

Serves approximately 6.
