Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

      Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, dried basil, and oregano. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.

          Combine Tortellini and Cheese: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
