Quick Pesto Tortellini

While making my 2 week grocery list, I'll ask my husband if there is anything specific he would like. He always says something like tortellini, or ravioli-he's a pasta lover...which I totally get,I love pasta, and I love him! :) Cute right?
So I wanted to make something really quick and tasty since we only have 20 min before our daughters gymnastics class...so here's what I came up with.


1-20 oz pkg. Buitoni cheese tortellini
3-4 tabl. Store bought basil pesto 
1 c. Heavy cream

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook pasta according to the package. While pasta is cooking, in a lg sauce pan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer.Allow to reduce by 1/4, add the basil pesto and remove from heat. When the pasta is finished, drain, and toss with the basil pesto sauce.

There you have it! I like to toss in some green beans or asparagus or some cubed cooked chicken. And serve it with some garlic bread. Yum!
