Time 25m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

14 ounces cheese-filled egg tortellini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook Tortellini as directed on package.
  • Drain; rinse with hot water.
  • In large skillet, sauté garlic in oil 2 minutes.
  • Stir in wine, salt, pepper and Tortellini.
  • Simmer over low heat 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • Toss with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all your ingredients. It'll make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use Fresh Tortellini: Fresh tortellini cooks faster and tastes better than dried tortellini. If you can't find fresh tortellini, dried tortellini will work, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Don't Overcook the Tortellini: Tortellini cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Overcooked tortellini will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will prevent the tortellini from sticking and burning. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Add Flavorful Ingredients: Use flavorful ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, or artichoke hearts to add depth and complexity to the dish.
  • Serve Immediately: Tortellini is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to make it ahead of time, cook the tortellini and sauce separately and then reheat them together just before serving.

Conclusion:

Greek tortellini skillet is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for busy weeknight dinners. With its combination of flavorful ingredients and simple preparation, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
