Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and generously salt the water as it heats up. Cook tortellini according to package instructions.
- While the tortellini is cooking, make the sauce. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add tomato paste, butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add fresh oregano and thyme and stir until fragrant. Whisk in heavy cream, chicken broth, and parmesan, stirring until the cheese is melted. Lastly, add sun-dried tomatoes and let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the tortellini. Immediately add the pasta to the sauce and add in some pasta water if the sauce appears dry or needs a bit of thinning.
- Sprinkle with some freshly shredded parmesan and enjoy.
