Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The uncooked tortellini can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, then transferred to an airtight container between layers of paper and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Do not thaw before boiling.
Notes
The intensity of flavor in truffle puree depends on the brand, so make sure to adjust the amount of puree according to taste. As an alternative to the truffle puree, Vetri recommends truffle oil, which also varies in intensity.
Suggested Pairing
This rich and creamy pasta dish would be showcased by a round, ripe California Chardonnay.
