White Wine and Herb Tortellini
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small sweet onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp Italian herb blend
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine (I use pinot grigio)
1 Tbsp cold butter
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 lb tortellini (You can use 1 lb of any pasta you want. I like it best with cheese or sausage tortellini)
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pot of very salty water to a boil. Cook pasta according to the instructions on the box. I usually cook fresh tortellini no more than 4 minutes, even though it usually says 7 or so on the package.
Strain pasta, but do not rinse.
While water heats up to boil, sauteé diced onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in a large skillet until onions are very soft. About 10 minutes.
Add Italian herbs and sauteé for another 2 minutes.
Add white wine and simmer for 5 minutes or until liquid reduces by half. Remove from heat.
Stir in cold butter.
Add tortellini, Parmesan and parsley. Toss until combined.
This meal gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It super fast and delicious.
