Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes more for serving
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • ¼ cup white wine like Pinot Grigio
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetarian broth
  • 1 cup puréed tomatoes
  • ½ cup cream 20% fat, or plant-based alternative
  • 1 ounce grated Parmesan
  • 3 tbsp chopped basil leaves more for serving

Instructions
 

  • Get all the prep done before you start cooking: mince the garlic, finely chop the shallot and chop the basil leaves.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, but don't add the tortelloni yet.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low. Add garlic and shallot, cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir frequently. Stir in salt, black pepper, paprika and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato paste, cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Deglaze with white wine, stir and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in broth and puréed tomatoes, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, add tortelloni to the pot with boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain.
  • Add cream, Parmesan and basil to the sauce. Add tortelloni, gently toss to coat. Finish off with freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes. Serve topped with chopped basil. Enjoy!
