Tortellini With Tomato And Cream Sauce
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 50g unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, very finely chopped
- 1 stick celery, very finely chopped
- 400mL tomato puree
- ½ teaspoon caster sugar
- 150mL crème fraiche
- Salt and black pepper
- 600g fresh spinach and ricotta tortellini
- Freshly grated Parmesan to serve
Method:
1. Place the butter, onion, celery, tomato puree and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and the sauce thickened.
2. Spoon in the crème fraiche, season and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 1 minute, then add more salt and pepper if necessary.
3. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes or until just firm in the centre (al dente), then drain. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and pour over the sauce. Serve with Parmesan.

We tried this last night (leaving the sugar out) and liked it a lot. The creme fraiche really wakes up the tortellini. Thanks for sharing.
