Hello,
I am making tortellini. Can this be made in advance? If so, how long can you refrigerate it? Is it OK to make 24-48 hrs in advance?
Thanks!

They are usually OK for up to a week in the fridge as well as months in the
freezer.

Very true. The main thing is to let them dry for the right amount of time.
If they don't dry enough you'll find them all sticked together, unless you
freeze them well spread on a large surface and then re-bag them. If you
let'em dry too much, they will break in crumbles when you'll go to boil
them. With the correct drying they just go in the freezer bag and freeze
perfectly separated one from the other.

Depends on how wet the filling is. You can just freeze them right
away on a cookie sheet right away rather than having to guess
whether they'd last or not. When frozen, transfer to a bag so
they'll take up less room in the freezer.

They'll cook fine from the frozen state.

It's a butternut squash filling. I was planning to make them on Wednesday, put them in the fridge until cooking on Thursday night. Any tips so this doesn't end in disaster? Should they be fully dry before they go in the fridge?

Nobody has told you to dry them more than superficially. The reason to dry
them is so they won't stick to each other when stored. If I were doing it,
I'd dust them with flour, leave on a kitchern towel for a bit, then freeze
them.
