Tortellini In A White Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Set a pot of the water on high heat to boil, add a pinch or two of salt (to add flavor and help the water boil faster).
• When the water begins to simmer, set a large sauté pan on med-high heat with the oil in it.
• When the water boils, add the tortellini's to the water and set the timer for 7 minutes.
• By now the oil should be ready (you'll hear little popping sounds). Add the peppers, zucchini, scallions, asparagus, and garlic to the oil and stir, evenly coating the vegetables. Sauté for about two minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for another minute or two, or until the tomatoes are beginning to get soft.
• Add the wine and reduce until most of the wine has evaporated, leaving enough to coat the vegetables and a little extra for the pasta. Set the pan aside and cover to keep it hot.
• The timer should have gone off for the tortellini. Check it by tasting one, if it feels a little tough to chew, it needs a little more time. Strain the tortellini well, then add it to pan, stirring over low heat for about a minute to absorb some of the sauce.
• Serve in a large bowl and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese liberally over top. Garnish with the parsley sprigs, or sprinkle freshly chopped or dried parsley over and around the bowl. If you have made crustinies, placing a few around the bowl (3-4) adds a nice touch.

Steps:

• For the sauce:.
• Melt butter, stir in flour and cook over low heat without browning the flour. About 5 minutes.
• Remove mixture from heat and when it has stopped bubbling add the wine.
• Return to heat and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
• Add cream and salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes and taste for seasoning.
• For the pasta:.
• Cook the tortellini to the "al dente" stage-tender but still a little chewy.
• Drain.
• Serve very hot either mixed or topped with the wine sauce per your preference.
• Top with generous amount of the grated Parmesan cheese.
• I like to serve in individual small casserole type dishes.
• Will also work with ravioli.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and prosciutto and cook until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Ladle in about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and simmer until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• About 2 minutes before the tortellini are done, add the peas to the boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain the tortellini and peas and add to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Stir in the parsley. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on to boil, then add tortellini and veggies. Stir to keep from sticking and boil about 10 minutes (according to package directions).
