Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Roasted Garlic Tomato Basil Sauce

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add roasted garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add canned diced tomatoes (with juices), fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Garlic Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic powder and parsley. Spread the mixture evenly on both halves of the bread. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a large serving bowl, mix the cooked tortellini with the roasted garlic tomato basil sauce until well coated. Serve hot, accompanied by a slice of garlic bread. If desired, add a piece of woodfire or breaded chicken on top.
