Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces of tortellini prepared as per the package directions
  • 1 16-ounce jar of drained roasted red peppers, roughly diced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 8 oz burrata
  • Fresh chopped basil to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Cook the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for another minute.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Pour the roasted red pepper mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  • Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the salt, black pepper, heavy cream, and grated parmesan. Whisk the sauce until it's smooth and fully combined.
  • Combine with Tortellini: Toss the cooked tortellini into the sauce and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the pasta is fully coated and warmed through.
  • Add the Burrata and Serve: Break apart the burrata and gently place it over the tortellini. Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve immediately.
