Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, allowing it to melt and combine with the cream.
Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions until tender (usually about 3-5 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed spinach or sundried tomatoes, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for some heat.
