Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound tortelloni pasta refrigerated
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese fresh grated

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. (Be sure to use a skillet with a lid.) Add garlic, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
- Add the tomato sauce, broth, and oregano, then stir well until the tomato paste is dissolved.
- Stir in the heavy cream and kosher salt.
- Stir in tortelloni, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Test a tortelloni; if it is tender, remove from the heat, but if it needs a few more minutes, return the lid and continue cooking as needed, checking every minute or so.
- Serve right away with grated Parmesan cheese and a fresh basil. Enjoy!
