BERTUCCI’S TORTELLINI
I love Bertucci’s (which you’ll find out in Boston area). This is a dish I ordered one night that was super yummy and just sort of made up a recipe for.
- Fresh Tortellini (cheese filled and spinach if possible)
- 1 can whole tomatoes, cut up, reserve most of the juice
- Mushrooms (portabellos are good)
- Sausage (italian or andouille), cooked cut into pieces
- Basil
- Oregano (lesser amount than basil)
- Minced garlic
- Some sugar
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Light cream (a little)

Cook pasta according to package directions. Sautee sausage and mushrooms in a bit of olive oil if you need it. Add all other ingredients and simmer – except fresh basil and cream. Add basil and cream at end and heat through. Toss with pasta!
