Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add tortelloni and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tortelloni are al dente and floating to the top, 3-5 minutes. Drain.
Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add marinara and bring to a low simmer. Gently stir in drained tortelloni until coated.
Divide between bowls and serve.
Recipe suggestion (additional ingredients not included): Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add 2 cloves thinly sliced garlic and a pinch of chili flakes; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour in marinara and bring to a simmer, then gently stir in drained tortelloni until coated. Divide between bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan. Top with chopped fresh basil or parsley.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tangy marinara and cheesy tortelloni combo, though some found the sauce mild, bland, or too acidic on its own.
- Ease of prep: This is about as easy as it gets — just boil, warm the sauce, and serve in minutes.
- Suggestions: Boost the sauce with garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a sprinkle of Parmesan; some also stirred in a splash of Alfredo or cream to mellow the acidity. Adding a protein like Italian sausage, ground beef, or chicken takes it to a heartier meal.
- Leftovers: This makes a great packed lunch — several customers prepped it ahead and stored it in a thermos for easy on-the-go meals.
Reviews from our home cooks
Bought the ground turkey to go with this. Cooked the turkey with garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Added the marinara and cooked tortellini. Put some shredded mozzerela on top.
The tortellini cook super fast so be careful. The marinara needs something to cut the acidity like a package of Alfredo or something. There's more to be desired so think about what to add.
This was a great, quick, inexpensive meal! The little marinara was very good but I added 6 fresh san marzona tomatoes and fresh basil and it was incredible!
I always add chopped chicken breast, Italian spices and garlic with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Pretty great, especially when I mixed in some fresh parmesan and Boison Garlic herb puck cheese into the marinara sauce. Delish!
We have had better tasting Marinara Sauces. This one was just okay. If ordered again, I would probably add some fresh shredded or grated mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top to improve the flavor.
This was such an easy meal to make and clean up too. It was very good. We will order this meal again!
So simple but delicious, added some cream cheese to make it creamier
Very good added to sauce - minced garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes
Quick and easy! I added a few things like mushrooms, spinach, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. It turned out pretty good!
