Ingredients
Directions
- Heat spicy olive oil in a stockpot or Dutch oven. Add chicken cubes and sauté, until cooked for about 5 minutes. Remove from chicken and set aside. In the same pot, heat Fustini's Gremolata olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add celery, carrots, onion and garlic and sauté, for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour, whisking continually for 4 minutes. Slowly add chicken stock, while still whisking briskly until flour and stock are well blended. Add cooked chicken cubes to the pot and increase heat to high.
- When stock comes to a boil, add frozen tortellini. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat and cook 2-5 minutes, or until tortellini is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into individual bowls, add parsley or cilantro and garnish with cheese.
