🍲 Tortellini in Brodo (Stuffed Pasta in Broth)

Italian Name: Tortellini in Brodo

Cuisine: Italian (Emilia-Romagna) | Course: Main or Starter | Difficulty: Medium


📋 Ingredients

Serves 3–4 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 25 min

🥟 For the Dish:

  • 300g cheese or meat-filled tortellini (fresh or good-quality store-bought)

  • 1.5 liters homemade chicken or beef broth (or high-quality store-bought)

  • 1 small onion, peeled

  • 1 small carrot, peeled

  • 1 celery stalk

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving


👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat the Broth:

In a large pot, combine broth, whole onion, carrot, and celery. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 15–20 minutes to infuse flavor. Discard the vegetables before adding the tortellini.

2. Cook the Tortellini:

Add the tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to package or homemade instructions (usually 3–5 minutes, until they float and are tender).

3. Season & Serve:

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle tortellini and broth into bowls and serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan if desired.


💡 Pro Tips

  • Use homemade broth for the richest flavor. A mix of chicken and beef bones is traditional.

  • Don’t overboil — a gentle simmer keeps the broth clear.

  • Great as a holiday first course or warming winter meal.
