CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAMY PESTO SAUCE



Cheese Tortellini With Creamy Pesto Sauce image

This recipe is quick and easy. You may want to use fresh ingredients; however, I cooked with what I had in my kitchen and created this recipe myself. The ingredients include: frozen cheese tortellini, butter, mushrooms, a can of mushroom soup, a package of cream cheese, milk, bottled pesto sauce, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese. If you have wine on hand, a "splash" will do this dish justice.

Provided by KittyCat1225

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 38m

Yield 2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb frozen cheese tortellini
2 tablespoons butter
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms (drained)
10 3/4 ounces cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk (2% is fine)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
4 tablespoons pesto sauce (bottled)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (drained)
1/2 teaspoon salt (more if desired)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (more if desired)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
splash red wine (optional, but tasty!)

Steps:

  • In 4 quarts of boiling water, add 1 lb. of frozen cheese tortellini. Once water comes to a boil (which could take 15 minutes), cook for 12 minutes.
  • While the tortelli is cooking, heat 2 Tbls. of butter in pan (large enough to add all ingredients towards the end). Saute the mushrooms in the melted butter.
  • Add the can of cream of mushroom soup and milk. Mix well.
  • Now, add the cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy.
  • Add the pesto sauce until blended nicely, cooking all ingredients over a medium flame.
  • Add the tomatoes. Continue stirring, adding the salt and pepper.
  • Now, add the cooked tortellini to the creamy mixture and coat the tortellini, stirring gently - you do not wish to break up the cooked tortellini.
  • Add a splash of red wine - stir until blended. (Wine is optional, but the alcohol will burn off, and the wine flavor remains.).
  • Lastly, add the grated parmesan cheese and stir gently while the flame is still on medium.
  • Lower the flame to "simmer." If you have a lid for your pan, cover your pan; if not, that's fine, too -- let the tortellini and creamy mixture simmer on a low flame for 8 minutes. Your Cheese Tortellini with Creamy Pesto Sauce is ready to be served.
  • Dish up into separate bowls. This dish cools quickly, so serve promptly.
  • Cover leftovers and refrigerate. When re-heating, add a little milk, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortellini. Fresh tortellini will cook more quickly than dried tortellini, so adjust your cooking time accordingly. If you are using dried tortellini, be sure to cook it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tortellini, be sure to give it enough room to move around in the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the tortellini will stick together and cook unevenly.
  • Use a good quality stock. The stock you use for the sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a stock that is flavorful and has a rich body.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until it is heated through and slightly thickened. If you overcook the sauce, it will become too thick and gloppy.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tortellini will start to lose its texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Cheese tortellini with porcini and pecorino sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting pasta dish to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
