Crab Tortellini

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cream Sauce

    In a blender, combine the Calabrian roasted red peppers and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add Seasoning

    Once the sauce is heated, stir in the dill, lemon oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Combine

    Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Cook for another minute to warm through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the tortellini and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and extra dill if desired. Serve immediately.
