Indulge in a comforting plate of Tortellini with Tomato Sauce and Cream for a delicious, satisfying dinner that's easy to whip up!

1

Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3 to 5 minutes, until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.

2

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

3

Pour in the 400 grams of tomato sauce and stir well. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in 100 milliliters of heavy cream. Mix until well combined and heated through, which will take about 2 minutes.

5

Add the drained tortellini to the sauce, gently tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Allow it to simmer together for another 2 minutes.

6

Finely chop 10 grams of fresh basil and sprinkle it over the dish just before serving for a fresh flavor boost.

7

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Tortellini with Tomato Sauce and Cream!
