Ingredients
Scale
- 18 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley, I used Italian parsley but curly will also work
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot of water over high heat until boiling. Add in your tortellini and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add in tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook tomatoes until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes, and then add in the garlic and thyme. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to burst open and garlic is fragrant. I like to slightly mash the tomatoes with the bottom of my spatula to make more of a sauce with them.
- Add in the cooked tortellini and the parsley and mix everything together well. I like to also add in another small drizzle of olive oil. Let cook for another minute or two and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Enjoy!
