TORTELLINI WITH ROASTED GARLIC SAUCE (APPETIZER)



Tortellini With Roasted Garlic Sauce (Appetizer) image

This is a wonderful appetizer and a nice change from the usual chips and dip or crackers and spread combo. We especially loved the sauce! If you roast the garlic ahead of time, it all comes together rather quickly. I didn't heat the sauce after pureeing, just served it at room temperature. Note added 12/26/05: I agree with Marie Nixon's review that there is enough sauce for 2 packages of tortellini. I did actually make 2 packages, and there was plenty of sauce for that amount.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large head of garlic
1 (9 ounce) package fresh tortellini (I used tri-colored five cheese)
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream (I used light, rather than nonfat)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Frank's red hot sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Cut 1/2-inch off top of garlic and remove papery outer skin, leaving cloves intact. Wrap garlic in foil and bake 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Cook tortellini according to package directions (do NOT overcook, best to undercook a bit). Rinse under cold water, drain well on paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat(medium-high worked better for me). Add tortellini in batches to oil, cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until lightly golden. Add more oil if necessary. Drain on paper towels.
  • Separate cooled garlic into cloves; pinch each clove so roasted flesh comes out and place in blender or food processor. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and hot sauce. Cover and process until pureed and very smooth. Spoon into small saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until hot and bubbly. Transfer to small serving bowl.
  • To serve, arrange tortellini on serving platter. Dip into Roasted Garlic Sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound roma tomatoes, quartered
1 pound sliced button mushrooms
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
¼ teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
¼ teaspoon dried sage leaves, crushed

¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
¼ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 ¼ pounds pork chops

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, toss tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and olive oil with salt and pepper to taste. Mix lightly with hands to coat all ingredients with oil, and spread the tomato-mushroom mixture to the edges of the dish, leaving the center free for the pork chops.
  • Combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, cumin, ground coriander, oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, sugar, and crushed red pepper in a bowl to make a spice rub.
  • Sprinkle the pork chops with the spice rub, working the rub well into both sides of the meat. Place pork chops in the center of the baking dish, surrounded by the tomato and mushroom mixture.
  • Roast in preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center and mushrooms are tender, about 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving dish and top with roasted tomato-mushroom mixture and all pan juices to serve.
