Difficulty Level: Easy

Total Time: 2 hours

Serving Size: 4-6 servings



Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. meat or cheese-filled tortellini

  • 8 cups water

  • 1 garlic bulb, halved

  • 1 yellow onion, halved

  • 1 bay leaf

  • Salt to taste

Directions:


Parmigiano Brodo:

  1. In a large stock pot, add the garlic, onion, Parmigiano rinds, carrot, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and 8 cups of water.

  2. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for about 1.5 hours until the brodo is full of rich Parmigiano flavor. Stir occasionally so that the cheese does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Add salt to taste.
