Piping hot Cheese Tortellini served in a simple, delicious garlic butter sauce. Double the batch because everyone is going to love it!

Ingredients

• 32 ounces chicken broth divided
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese for garnish
• fresh parsley minced, for garnish, optional

Instructions

1. In a large pot, bring 2 ½ cups broth to a boil. Add cheese tortellini. Return to a boil and cook about 5 minutes. The tortellini will float to the top when cooked and the internal temperature should be 165ºF for at least 15 seconds. Drain completely.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1 ½ cups broth with corn starch. In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Stir in garlic and basil and cook about 2 minutes.
3. Add broth-cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil; simmer until the mixture thickens. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat.
4. Pour into a serving dish and garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.

Recipe Notes

To make this dish vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

Serves 8 as an appetizer or first course. Keep warm in a slow cooker if serving a buffet.
