Boil the Tortellini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package directions until they are al dente. Drain the tortellini, reserving a cup of pasta water for later use.

Prepare the Sauce

In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. If using olive oil, heat it until warm but not smoking. Add the cooked tortellini to the pan and toss it gently to coat with the butter or olive oil.

Add Cheese

Remove the pan from the heat. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the tortellini, and toss well. If the mixture seems too dry, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water until you achieve the desired consistency.

Serve

Serve the tortellini hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
