Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the tortellini to the skillet. Stir to coat.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook according to tortellini package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil before serving immediately.

Notes

  • If using frozen tortellini, you may need an extra minute or two of cooking time.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more broth or cream until you reach your preferred consistency.
