Burrata & Truffle Tortelloni Portions | UK Guide
Quick answer: La Tua Pasta's 3kg frozen burrata and truffle tortelloni pack is designed for a larger group. The hand-folded pasta has a filling with ricotta, burrata, mozzarella and summer black truffle, so simple sauces work best and the portions should be planned as a rich course.
See the filled pasta collection for other formats. Our guide to cooking with truffle explains why restrained heat and simple accompaniments protect its aroma.

What are burrata and truffle tortelloni best for?
This is a generous frozen catering pack for a dinner where pasta is a course in its own right. The cheese-and-truffle filling is already rich and aromatic, so it benefits from a light dressing rather than a heavy sauce.
- Serve with olive oil, butter and grated cheese.
- Use a light mushroom sauce for a more autumnal menu.
- Keep side dishes green, sharp or simply dressed.
How should you cook and portion tortelloni?
Cook the pasta directly from frozen in boiling water for five to six minutes, as stated by the supplier. Drain carefully and dress immediately. Do not defrost before cooking, and keep the unused pasta frozen at -18°C.
For a buffet or a multi-course dinner, serve modest portions first and keep a little in reserve. The filling is substantial, so the right portion depends on whether you are serving it as a starter course or the main event.

What sauce suits burrata and truffle tortelloni?
Use a small amount of butter or olive oil with grated hard cheese, or choose a light mushroom sauce. Heavy tomato, chilli or strongly smoked sauces can hide the creamy filling and summer truffle. Dress the pasta immediately after draining so the pieces do not stick.
Portion planning: a 3kg catering pack does not dictate one serving size. Weigh a test portion based on whether the pasta is a starter, one course in a long menu or the main dish, then calculate the number of guests from that chosen weight.
How should frozen tortelloni be cooked and stored?
Keep the pack at -18°C and cook the required amount directly from frozen. Boil for the supplier's stated five to six minutes, drain carefully and serve promptly. Return unused pasta to the freezer before it begins to soften.
The product contains wheat, egg and milk and may contain celery, crustaceans, fish, mustard, tree nuts and soya. Check the current label before serving. General advice on thoroughly heating food is available from the Food Standards Agency's cooking guide.
Frequently asked questions
Should tortelloni be defrosted before cooking?
No. Add the pasta to boiling water directly from frozen and follow the five-to-six-minute supplier instruction.
How many people will a 3kg pack serve?
It depends on the role of the dish. Choose and weigh a starter or main-course test portion first, then divide 3kg by that portion size.
Can I use a truffle cream sauce?
You can, but keep it light. The filling already contains summer black truffle, so extra truffle should support rather than cover it.
