TORTELLINI WITH CREAM SAUCE

Category: Pasta

1/4 cup butter
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound cheese or meat tortellini pasta
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano cheese plus additional for serving

Melt butter in a large skillet. When butter foams, add cream. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add salt.

Fill a very large saucepan two-thirds full with salted water. Bring water to a boil. Add tortellini pasta. Bring water back to a boil and cook tortellini uncovered until al dente. Drain tortellini and place in skillet with sauce.

Add 1/3 cup Parmigiano cheese. Toss tortellini and sauce over low heat until sauce coats tortellini, 20 to 30 seconds. Serve immediately with additional Parmigiano cheese. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
