Jeanine Alfano - Montauk, New York
Bake-Off® Contest 34, 1990 Prize Winner
Garlic and basil provide the seasoning, while spinach and tomato add the color to this light-sauced tortellini main dish.


   1 pound uncooked fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
   2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
   1/2 cup chopped onions
   3 garlic cloves, minced
   1 (9-ounce) package frozen leaf spinach in a pouch, thawed
   1 cup cubed, seeded tomatoes
   1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon pepper
   1 cup whipping cream
   1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese


Cook tortellini to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook until tender and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add spinach, tomato, basil, salt and pepper; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in whipping cream and Parmesan cheese; cook until mixture just comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low; stir in cooked tortellini. Cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
