Arahan

Boil the Water: Fill a large pot with water and add a generous amount of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Cook the Tortellini: Once boiling, gently add the refrigerated cheese tortellini. Stir briefly to prevent sticking and cook according to package directions until al dente.

Prep the Ingredients: While the tortellini cooks, measure out the remaining ingredients. This "mise en place" will help streamline the cooking process!

Reserve Pasta Water: Before draining the tortellini, scoop out about ½ cup of the starchy pasta cooking water using a mug or heatproof measuring cup. Set aside.

Drain the Tortellini: Carefully drain the tortellini in a colander, discarding the hot water.

Combine Ingredients: Return the hot, drained tortellini to the warm pot or a large mixing bowl. Add the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Toss and Coat: Using tongs or a spoon, gently toss everything together until the tortellini is evenly coated. If it looks a bit dry, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time, tossing as you go, until you achieve a light, silky coating.

Serve: Transfer the tortellini to serving dishes and sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
