Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz tortellini, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 (16 oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ⅓ cup vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 23 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • 8 oz burrata
  • Fresh chopped basil, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare Sauce Base: In a blender or food processor, combine roasted red peppers, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
  • Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add diced onion and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  • Simmer Sauce: Pour the roasted red pepper mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low, then add salt, pepper, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.
  • Combine: Add cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  • Finish with Burrata: Break apart the burrata over the tortellini. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Notes
