Ingredients

Servings: 4
500g (17.6 oz) Cheese Tortellini
800g (28 oz) Crushed Tomatoes
120ml (1/2 cup) Heavy Cream
50g (1/2 cup) Grated Parmesan Cheese
15g (1/2 cup, loosely packed) Fresh Basil

Steps

1

In a large skillet or pot, combine the crushed tomatoes. Bring the tomatoes to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

2

Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering tomato sauce. Stir gently to ensure the tortellini are submerged.

3

Cook the tortellini according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and float to the surface. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes for fresh tortellini, or longer for frozen.

4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated into the sauce. This will create a creamy, rich texture.

5

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.

6

Finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Stir most of the chopped basil into the tortellini mixture, reserving a little for garnish.

7

Serve the creamy tomato tortellini immediately, garnished with the remaining fresh basil.
