I posted a very similar recipe to this one way back before I
even had a follower. It’s one of my long time favorites, so I was excited to
get it out there. In the subsequent almost 2 years since I have learned a lot
about cooking, and writing recipes, and looking back I am not impressed.

This recipe is amazingly decadent, stupendously easy, and
not in the least bit time consuming. This is why it is one of my favorites.
Well that, and I have a deep love of pesto, but you already knew that.
Although the proportions are for the single diner, it is
pretty easily expanded for more, so don’t hesitate to serve it for a last
minute get together. Now all you need is a side salad with a nice vinaigrette and
your friends will think you are a veritable Martha Stewart.
The original recipe also included shrimp, because I like to
glam things up, not that it’s needed at all with this creamy deliciousness. If
you are interested in adding a protein to this, grilled chicken, shrimp, or scallops,
make wonderful additions.
Tortellini with Pesto Cream Sauce
3-4oz cup dry/frozen tortellini

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp butter

2 tbsp prepared pesto

½ cup heavy cream

1/3 cup grated parmesan
cheese

Handful of cherry tomatoes,
halved

Prepare tortellini
according to package instructions. Meanwhile heat garlic, and butter over
medium high heat until the garlic becomes fragrant (1-2 minutes). Reduce heat
to low and stir in pesto, cook for an additional minute before adding cream.
Gently whisk in cheese and allow the mixture to thicken. Serve over prepared
tortellini and tomatoes.

  2. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative
    and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i’m very happy that I found this in my search for something regarding this.

  3. My programmer is trying to persuade me to moce to
    .net from PHP. I have alwsys dislkiked thhe idea because
    of tthe expenses. Buut he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites
    for about a year and am nervous about switching to
    another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?

    Any help would be really appreciated!
