Ingredients
- 9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ cup diced onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices, 1 can
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- grated Parmesan cheese for garnish, optional
- chopped fresh parsley or basil, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Cook onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender. Add garlic, basil, and oregano and stir until fragrant.
- Add tomatoes with juices, water, broth, and sugar and use a spoon to slightly smash the tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Allow sauce to simmer and thicken while cooking the tortellini, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining olive oil and season to taste.
- Cook tortellini al dente according to package directions. Drain but do not rinse.
- Gently mix cooked tortellini with prepared tomato sauce. Top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley or basil and serve.
Notes
- SERVING SIZE This recipe makes four 1 cup servings. If serving as a main dish, I would suggest doubling the recipe for 4 people.
- Any filled pasta will work well in this recipe (meat filled tortellini or ravioli).
- Cooked ground beef or sausage can be added to the sauce as it simmers.
- If you have fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, sprinkle them on just before serving.
