Tortellini Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes until they float to the surface.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine with Sauce

    Add either marinara or alfredo sauce to the saucepan with garlic. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix with Tortellini

    Once the tortellini are cooked, drain them and add them to the saucepan. Toss gently to coat the tortellini with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tortellini hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
