Tortellini with garlic, butter, olive oil and green onions!

Getting home from vacation and checking out the frige to find NO FOOD is really a bummer.  We ate a lot while we were away with our grandchildren but for some reason when you walk in your door you want YOUR food.  I usually choose pasta and fortunately I had cheese tortellini in the freezer as well as some green onion, butter, garlic and olive oil so combing all made for a great quick meal.

In a medium sauce pan cook tortellini according to directions. (no need to over cook) drain

In a medium size fry pan saute green onion( I used 4 green onions chopped) in butter(2 T) and (1/2 cup) or less olive oil, add garlic(2 cloves) and simmer a few minutes carefully as not to burn garlic.  Add cooked and drained tortellini and toss.  Season with some grated pecorino romano cheese.


Hint:  Garlic stores well in freezer.  Break in cloves and store in a small container.  I never ever run out of it for that reason.



Happy Cooking!

Bon Appetite!
