Pick your favorite pasta shape—spaghetti, penne, or fusilli. Whole wheat or gluten-free options work too. The right pasta makes all the difference in taste and texture.
1. Choose Your Pasta
Boil water, add salt, and cook pasta until al dente. Stir occasionally for even cooking. Drain but save some pasta water—it helps blend the sauce beautifully.
2. Cook to Perfection
Choose a simple tomato, creamy Alfredo, or garlic butter sauce. Fresh herbs, garlic, and seasonings add depth, making your pasta rich and incredibly tasty.
3. Tortellini Soup Delight
Enhance your dish with chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Sauté them with garlic and spices for extra flavor. Protein makes your pasta more filling and satisfying.
4. Pesto Tortellini Magic
Bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach bring color and nutrition. Sauté or steam them lightly to keep their crunch and freshness. They add texture and balance flavors.
5. Toss in Fresh Veggie
Toss the pasta with sauce and reserved pasta water. Mix well for a silky texture. Garnish with Parmesan, fresh basil, or chili flakes for a perfect finishing touch.
6. Mix & Garnish
Plate your delicious pasta while it’s hot. Pair it with garlic bread or a fresh salad. In just minutes, you’ve got a mouthwatering meal everyone will love! 4o
