Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 14 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to enhance its flavor.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Let the mixture simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to create a rich, creamy sauce.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until it is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Toss the cooked tortellini in the tomato cream sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving and enjoy warm.
