Ingredients
- 5 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini I usually use half of a 9–10 oz package and freeze the rest for later

- Stir in shredded Parmesan and chopped basil until melted and fragrant.

Notes
Pro Tips
- Tortellini timing: Cook just until tender—overcooked tortellini = sad mush.
- Sun-dried tomato swap: Oil-packed is best for flavor, but dry-packed works in a pinch (just soak first).
- Spice it up: Add a dash of crushed red pepper or smoked paprika for a tiny kick without stealing the show.
- For a touch more indulgence: Replace milk with half-and-half for a silky, creamy finish.
-
- Crusty bread or garlic breadsticks – perfect for mopping up every last drop of creamy soup.
- Simple side salad – adds freshness and crunch.
- Grilled cheese sandwiches – because why not double down on comfort food?
- Glass of white wine – optional, but it makes you feel fancy while staying cozy.
