Tortellini In Brodo Recipes

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:

• 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:

• 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! ;).
