Imagine being transported to the sun-kissed hills of Tuscany, where the air is filled with the sweet scent of basil and the gentle rustle of leaves. Every bite of Pesto Tortellini is a sensory experience – rich, creamy pesto clings to every strand of tender pasta, and the moment the cheese melts, it’s like a taste of pure nostalgia.

It reminds me of the festive cheesy pull-apart Christmas bread I shared earlier. See Related Recipe to see how I incorporated cheesy goodness in a different recipe!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 lb cheese-filled tortellini

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1
Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining. Set aside.

In a blender or food processor, combine basil, garlic, Parmesan, and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

4
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss to combine, adding some reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5
Transfer the tortellini to a serving dish. Top with the pesto sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

The pesto tortellini can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through.
