Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt, pepper, red pepper flakes
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning and cook until fragrant.
  • Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
  • Add tortellini and cook according to package time, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and basil. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan and crusty bread.

Notes

The tortellini absorbs liquid as it sits, so leftovers will be thicker — more like a stew. Add a splash of broth when reheating.
