23 Tasty Tortellini Recipes You've Got to Try

We love a good plate of spaghetti as much as anyone else (especially when it’s paired with exactly the right sauce) — but there’s no denying that pasta is better with fillings! Whether it’s creamy ricotta, meaty mushrooms or savory beef, extra flavor is always welcome. That’s why we love tortellini. We'll put our favorite pasta pot to work any night of the week serving them up, starting with Rachael’s pasta salad that gives a classic flavor combination (spinach and artichoke) a new twist. She dresses everything with a deliciously tangy vinaigrette.

Who needs chicken noodle when you can have tortellini instead? As an added bonus, this soup comes together in just 15 minutes, using ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen.

Store-bought tortellini are the star of this quick and creamy weeknight meal. They simmer in their own sauce, making this a one-skillet meal with easy cleanup. Try one-inch pieces of Italian sausage instead of chicken for a variation.

When you need a hearty, one-pot meal look no further than this satisfying soup. It’s chock-full of Italian sausage, white beans and pasta.
