Instructions

1. PREP & MIX PANKO

Step 1

• Heat broiler to high. Wash and dry produce.

Step 2

• Peel and mince garlic. Dice tomatoes.

Step 3

• In a small bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. MAKE SAUCE

Step 4

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium ovenproof pan (use a large ovenproof pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add garlic, Italian Seasoning, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste: cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Step 5

• Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Step 6

• Stir in 1 cup water (1½ cups for 4), and cream cheese. Bring to a simmer, stirring, until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.

3. ADD TORTELLONI

Step 7

• Add tortelloni to pan; cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and tortelloni are tender, 4-6 minutes. (TIP: If sauce is too thick before tortelloni are tender, add a splash more water.) Turn off heat.

Step 8

• Stir in 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. If sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water.

FINISH & SERVE

Step 9

• Evenly sprinkle tortelloni with panko mixture. Broil until panko is golden brown. 2-4 minutes. (TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.) Garnish with more chili flakes if desired.

Step 10

• Divide between plates and serve.
