Notes
Make sure to not overcook the tortellini to keep them firm. For extra flavor, feel free to add more herbs or spices to your seasoning mix. Experiment with different dips based on your guests’ preferences. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to get them crispy again before serving.
