Ingredients

• 16 oz Cheese tortellini
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 28 oz Hunt's crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3

Add Hunt's crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts fully into the sauce, creating a smooth and slightly thick consistency.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the creamy tomato sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving. Serve warm with additional grated Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
