Skillet Tortellini with Chorizo and Asparagus Recipe (One-Pan)
Pan-frying fresh or frozen store-bought tortellini lets the pasta brown and crisp in spots before a splash of water finishes steam-cooking them to al dente perfection. This two-step method lends a deeper flavor and more interesting texture than simply cooking tortellini in a pot of boiling water.
Perhaps the true win here is that you only need one skillet to prepare both the pasta and its sauce. Here, tender asparagus and smoky Spanish chorizo combine with the tortellini in a single pan for a simple and satisfying spring-inspired meal.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 6 ounces dried Spanish chorizo
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
  • 2 (8 to 9-ounce) packages fresh cheese tortellini, or 1 (16- to 20-ounce) bag frozen cheese tortellini (do not thaw)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
