Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Tomato Tortellini Sauce.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients in one place; this makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, add the tortellini and let them cook uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
You'll know they're ready when they float to the top and the filling is hot, which should take about four minutes.
Step 5
After cooking, drain the tortellini and set them aside for later.
Step 6
Next, grab a large saucepan and heat some olive oil over medium-low heat.
Step 7
Add in the dried basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, stirring them together to release their wonderful aromas.
Step 8
Now, toss in the minced onion, diced green bell pepper, and garlic.
Step 9
Sauté these ingredients until the onions turn translucent, which should take around two minutes.
Step 10
Once your veggies are looking good, pour in the tomato sauce and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 11
Stir in a bit of sugar and chicken soup base, making sure everything is well dissolved.
Step 12
Lower the heat and carefully mix in the heavy cream and white wine, stirring constantly until it’s just about to boil again.
Step 13
Finally, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce, gently folding them in to ensure they’re evenly coated with that delicious mixture.
Step 14
Serve your creation warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors that come together in this delightful dish.
Step 15
Happy cooking!.
