Ingredients

• 500 grams Cheese tortellini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 400 grams Crushed tomatoes
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 grams Grated parmesan cheese
• 6 leaves Basil leaves
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and sauté it in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well to create a smooth, pink sauce.

Step 6

Add the grated parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until it melts completely. This will help thicken the sauce.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Stir in the butter to give the sauce a silky texture.

Step 9

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat every piece evenly with the sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and serve immediately. Optionally, add more grated parmesan on top for extra cheesiness.
