How To Make chicken tortellini pasta
-
Step 1Make sure to cook tortellini and chicken first and set aside. I used pre-cut grilled chicken strips that take about 10 minutes in the skillet. Same for the tortellini
-
Step 2Blend the chicken granules, basil, 2 teaspoons parsley, and pepper into the crushed tomatoes
-
Step 3Saute the garlic in olive oil then add the tomato mixture and bring to a simmer. Add cream and bring to a gentle boil. Add the 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and stir well.
-
Step 4Stir the tortellini and chicken into the sauce. If desired, serve garnished with more parsley and/or parmesan cheese
