Directions
Tortellini With Roasted Garlic Sauce (Appetizer), This is a wonderful appetizer and a nice change from the usual chips and dip or crackers and spread combo We especially loved the sauce! If you roast the garlic ahead of time, it all comes together rather quickly I didn’t heat the sauce after pureeing, just served it at room temperature Note added 12/26/05: I agree with Marie Nixon’s review that there is enough sauce for 2 packages of tortellini I did actually make 2 packages, and there was plenty of sauce for that amount , Just made this for Sunday Football Was super easy to double for a herd Variations I made: once realizing that I had no sour cream at all, I substituted with a block of room temp cream cheese and a few tbsp of whole milk, also used pre-peeled garlic cloves – sea salted generously and doused with extra virgin olive oil, wrapped in foil and roasted about 45 minutes at 350 I had to stop myself from taste testing too many of the little buggers!, This was a real hit at a recent pool party, and I forgot to add the hot sauce Oh well, I guess I will just have to make it again

Cook Tortellini According to Package Directions (do not Overcook, Best to Undercook a Bit). Rinse Under Cold Water, Drain Well on Paper Towels. Heat 2 Tablespoons Oil in Large Nonstick Skillet Over Medium Heat(medium-High Worked Better For Me). Add Tortellini in Batches to Oil, Cook and Stir 3-5 Minutes or Until Lightly Golden. Add More Oil If Necessary. Drain on Paper Towels. |
