Notes
There is plenty of sauce to coat 1 pound of tortellini. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until it reaches the desired consistency.
Total time will vary depending on the type of tortellini you use. Dry tortellini takes longer to cook than fresh or frozen.
If using quick-cooking frozen tortellini, make the sauce while the pasta water comes to a boil, then keep it warm while the tortellini cooks.
