Cheese Tortellini in a Cheese-Tomato Sauce

I recently found kosher frozen cheese tortellini at my local kosher market and knew I had to try it.  I had never had tortellini before so I was excited to try something new.  There are many different sauces that can be made with the tortellini but I stuck with a cheese-tomato sauce that resembles a rosa-rosa sauce.


Cheese Tortellini in a Cheese-Tomato Sauce

1 package frozen tortellini
1 jar marinara sauce
1 package of shredded cheese
parmesan cheese

1.  Cook tortellini according to package.
2.  While the tortellini is draining pour about half a jar of marinara sauce into a small saucepan/pot and heat until warm.
3.  Add about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of cheese (cheese amount is flexible to each person's liking) and about 1-2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
4.  Stir the sauce mixture until the cheese has melted.
5.  Pour the tortellini into the sauce mixture and let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes on a very low heat.  (This is for the sauce to really get incorporated into the tortellini and not just having the sauce sit on top of the tortellini.)
6.  When serving, sprinkle a little more parmesan cheese on top for presentation.

Enjoy!
