Ingredients
- 20 ounces cheese tortellini by weight
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano plus additional for garnish, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- Set a large pot of salted water on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain and set aside. Return the pot to the stove.
- Set the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pot. Once melted, stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the cooked tortellini to the pot. Stir gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Adjust seasoning to taste. Sprinkle with additional parsley and serve hot.
