  • 2 cloves garlic, squeezed or finely diced

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

with sun-dried tomatoes

Prepare the tortellini according to the package instructions, then place in a baking dish. Sauté the onions and tomatoes, adding the garlic relatively late so it doesn’t burn and become bitter. Deglaze with chicken stock, cream, and tomato sauce. Add the oregano, Parmesan cheese, and tomato paste and simmer slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. The sauce should have a relatively thick consistency. Pour the sauce over the tortellini and sprinkle with the cheese. Place in a preheated oven at 175°C and bake for about 20 minutes (or until the cheese crust is golden brown).
