Creamy Tomato Tortellini

Ingredients:

18 oz package refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 tbs butter

2-3 cloves minced garlic

2 tbs tomato paste

1 14 oz can tomato sauce

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

salt and pepper

freshly grated parmesan cheese

​

​

Directions:

1. Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly.​

2. Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir/whisk until it's nice and smooth.

3. Stir in the tortellini (no need to boil it first). Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.​

4. If the tortellini is still a little firm, continue cooking it for another few minutes. If the sauce thickens/reduces too much,add another splash of cream or a little chicken broth.​

5. Season with salt & pepper as needed.​

6. Serve immediately with plenty of parmesan cheese grated over top.
