Ingredients List
- 2 heads of roasted garlic (refer to the post for directions if you don't know how, it's simple!)
- 2 tablespoons Pompeian Picholini Olive Oil, or sub for regular Pomepian Olive Oil
- 1 cup heavy cream,dividied
- heaping 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese + another 1/4-1/2 cup
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 14oz container of tortellini (refrigerated or frozen - if using frozen, cook according to directions beforehand)
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- parsley to garnish (optional)
Directions
In a food processor or blender, combine the 2 heads of roasted garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of Pompeian olive oil, & 1/4 cup of the heavy cream. Blend until the garlic is pulverized. Into the garlic mixture, pour in the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream, heaping 1/4 cup sour cream, & 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Blend the mixture for 30-60 seconds until everything is combined. The mixture will be thick & slightly lumpy, which is perfectly normal! Set the sauce aside.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add your tortellini & toss the pasta around in the melted butter to coat. Pour the sauce on top of the pasta, & stir gently to combine. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring gently occasionally. The sauce will thicken.
Sprinkle on 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese (depending on your tastes), stir to combine and remove from the heat. Pour the tortellini into a serving vessel, & garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
