Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz Cheese tortellini
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 15 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are combined, and let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy tomato mixture.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tortellini are heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious creamy tomato tortellini!
