Broth

Tortellini

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Stir in the minced garlic, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Broth

    Pour in the water and add salt and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain the Broth

    After simmering, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids. Return the clear broth to the pot and keep it warm over low heat.

Cook the Tortellini

  1. 5

    Boil the Tortellini

    In the warm broth, add the fresh tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, typically around 3-5 minutes until they float to the surface.

  2. 6

    Serve the Dish

    Once the tortellini are cooked, ladle the broth and tortellini into bowls. Top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
