Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring beef stock to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced garlic and crushed tomatoes; stir and simmer 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add frozen tortellini directly to the broth; stir gently to prevent sticking.

    Simmer until tortellini float to the surface and pasta is tender, ~6 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle into bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano and fresh parsley.

Tools you’ll need
