• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 6 tablespoons olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; stir in tortellini and return to a gentle boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and filling is hot, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, and red pepper flakes into hot oil.

Step 3

Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Pour in tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and chicken bouillon until dissolved.

Step 4

Reduce heat and stir in cream and wine; bring close to a boil, stirring constantly. Gently stir in tortellini and serve.
