Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and chicken (or vegetable) broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 7-10 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
