Ingredients
Pasta
- 500 g cheese tortellini
Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Tortellini: Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Create Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the grated parmesan, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Toss Tortellini: Add the cooked tortellini to the pan and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add fresh spinach in step 4 for extra color and nutrition, allowing it to wilt in the sauce.
- Using refrigerated tortellini ensures a better texture compared to frozen.
- Adjust salt and pepper seasoning toward the end based on your taste preference.
- Serve immediately to maintain the creaminess of the sauce.
