How to Make Tortellini In Broth With Cheese Crisps

  1. **Make the Parmesan Crisps:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  2. Place heaping tablespoons (about 2 tablespoons each) of grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each spoonful. Gently pat down each spoonful to flatten slightly.
  3. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. These will crisp up further as they cool.
  5. **Prepare the Soup:** While the crisps cool, pour 4 cups of broth into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  6. Bring the broth to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Add 1 cup of cheese tortellini to the simmering broth.
  8. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the tortellini are al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. **Serve:** Ladle the tortellini and broth into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and top with the crispy Parmesan crisps before serving immediately.
