Best Answer: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the tortellini. When they change color (become whiter) and soften they are ready - about 6-10 minutes. I love to serve with a tomato cream sauce and grilled chicken, top with Parmesan cheese. Or just a simple alfredo sauce.
Most pasta should be boiled for approximately 10 minutes but sometimes it is different for the type of pasta you have. I recommend you check the label of the packaging to beâ¦ sure of how long you should cook the pasta for.
