Tortellini Rose

This takes a bit of time to make, but the end result is amazing.

Marinara: in a 2-quart sauce pan , over medium heat , cook onion and garlic till tender.

Stir in remaining ingredients.

Heat to boiling , stir to break up tomatoes.

Reduce heat , simmer with cover on for about 20 minutes.

Stir occasionally.

I recommend blending it with a hand blender alfredo sauce: in small sauce pan , over medium low heat , melt butter.

Just before mixing with pasta , add cheese , stirring until it is melted.

Slowly add cream , heat until thoroughly mixed.

Add to pasta according to directions.

Pasta: prepare tortellini according to package directions.

In the meantime , melt butter , add onion and cook until clear.

Add tomatoes and mushrooms , cook until tender.

Add garlic and marinara sauce , heat until hot.

Add alfredo sauce , mix well until hot.

Add cooked tortellini , mix well , and serve immediately.

Serves 6 generous portions.

Garlic is the secret to this dish so use as much as you want.

I usually adjust it according to who i serve it to.
