Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves (or 3/4 t. dried ground sage OR 3 t. dried crumbled sage)
3/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and chopped (optional, to give flavor a boost)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • If possible, use fresh sage and freshly grated Parmesan to heighten the flavor of this dish. Makes a huge difference!
  • Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions; drain. (You can start on the sauce while the tortellini is cooking).
  • Heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add sage and slowly cook butter until it begins to brown. (It's okay if the sage darkens and gets crunchy).
  • Remove from heat; add the hot tortellini. Stir to coat; add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and toss. (If you choose to add sun-dried tomatoes, add them in with the cheese, salt, and pepper before tossing.).
