Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated fresh tortellini
• 2 teaspoons spicy pesto
• 6 leaves fresh basil, torn, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle on the oregano, salt, and pepper, and roll the cherry tomatoes around a few times to coat with the seasoned oil. Bake in the preheated oven until the tomatoes begin to burst, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Cook and drain the tortellini according to package directions, and set aside in a serving dish.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the garlic until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the pesto and roasted tomatoes. Smash the tomatoes with a fork to break open, stir to combine, and pour the sauce over the tortellini. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
