Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes, canned, undrained
  • ½ cup heavy cream or a lighter substitute for a healthier option
  • 9 ounces cheese-filled tortellini
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
  2. Pour in the vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
  3. Add the heavy cream, tortellini, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently until the tortellini is evenly distributed in the sauce.
  4. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with this recipe! You can substitute the heavy cream with a mix of Greek yogurt and broth or add sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers for more depth. Serve with crispy garlic bread or a fresh garden salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
