Tortellini In Brodo Rosso Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrots, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks wilt, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, the chicken broth, parmesan rind, lemon zest and pork bone. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the parmesan rind, lemon zest and pork bone from the pot with a slotted spoon. Bring the broth to a boil over medium heat. Add the tortellini, escarole and diced pork; season with pepper. Cook until the tortellini and escarole are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• To a large saucepan, combine the Parmesan rinds, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and salt. Add 8 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the broth for 1 hour 15 minutes, adjusting the heat to maintain a simmer and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Strain into a clean saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, about 4 minutes. Drain well, then add the tortellini to the broth to finish cooking. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent. Sprinkle with the sugar, stir and turn the heat to very low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onion is caramelized, about 20 minutes more. Add the red wine and cook until reduced by about half. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, add the tortellini and simmer until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Ladle into flat soup bowls and sprinkle with the green onion. Pass the parmigiana reggiano cheese with a grater for each person to add his own. Serves 6 as a first course, or 4 as a main course.

Steps:

• In a small stockpot, bring stock to a boil over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in tortellini. Cook pasta according to package instructions (it should float to the top when finished). Remove from heat, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Place stock in large pot and bring to boil.
• Drop in the frozen tortellini.
• Stir and then cook per package directions.
• When tortellini are done, spoon into soup bowls (pasta will look like puffed up pillows).
• Drop a few leaves of spinach on each bowl to wilt.
• Top with some lemon zest, if desired, and a small handful of Parmigiano.
• Serve with crusty bread and a fabulous glass of wine.
• Enjoy! ;).
