I created the recipe through trial and error. I make it with vegetable broth, but feel free to use chicken broth if you prefer. It is a quick fix with frozen pasta and canned beans, it's sure to heat up the chilliest of winter nights.—Linda Kees, Boise, Idaho
Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon butter
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-1/2 cups frozen cheese tortellini
1 can (19 ounces) white kidney beans or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the broth, water, basil and pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in tortellini. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes or until tortellini begins to float. Stir in beans and vinegar; heat through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
