3 qts. water
1 tbsp. plus 1/2 tsp. salt

Freshly ground white pepper

Remove from heat. Season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and hot pepper sauce and pepper to taste. Stir in reserved tortellini; return to medium heat. Cook, stirring gently once or twice, until pasta is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with 1 cup Parmesan; stir gently to blend. Spoon onto heated platter and serve with additional Parmesan, if desired.
