Creamy Rosemary Tomato Tortellini, made with four cheese whole wheat tortellini, tossed in pan-roasted tomato & fresh rosemary cream sauce.
I’ve been falling in love with tortellini lately. I don’t know what took us so long to “meet” but we are together now and no one can keep us apart!
I was messing around in the kitchen a couple of weeks ago, playing Chopped. Have you ever played Chopped in your kitchen?
It’s not so much playing it as forced to. If I haven’t gotten a chance to go grocery shopping and I need to have a dinner, I open the fridge and …
“Hmmm, what can I make with butter, sour cream, baking soda and batteries?”
Ha ha, may be it doesn’t go exactly like that, but you get the jest.
This wonderful dinner came out to be on one of those “what can I make” nights. It turned out delicious and I’ve actually made it a couple more times since. Great comfort dinner…easy and tasty.
Creamy Rosemary Tomato Tortellini
Ingredients
- 9 oz whole wheat refrigerated tortellini (I used four cheese)
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbs roux: 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour and 1/2 tbsp softened butter
- salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini according to the package and set aside.
- In a medium sauce pan, cook the onion and whole tomatoes on medium-high heat until nicely caramelized.
- Add fresh rosemary and saute for a few more seconds, until aromatic.
- Lower the heat to medium and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Add salt and pepper.
- When the cream is heated through, whisk in the roux. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Toss the tortellini and rosemary tomato sauce. Serve immediately.

This looks so delicious, tortellini’s the best! It feels so good to come up with a spectacular dish when there is little in the fridge to work with. I agree it really does feel like Chopped or Master Chef when I only have the most random stuff to cook with, haha. Thanks for sharing!
