The Trader Joe’s roasted red pepper soup works really well as a pasta sauce once it cooks down a bit. The tortellini absorbs some of the liquid as it cooks, so it turns into a creamy roasted red pepper coating instead of being a soup. Add air fried chicken meatballs, ricotta, basil, and spinach and it feels like a full comfort meal with very little effort.

This Creamy Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup is like a warm hug in a bowl, with cheesy tortellini swimming in a velvety tomato-basil broth that’s inspired by everyone’s favorite vodka sauce.

This garlic herb butter tortellini is cozy, savory, and packed with flavor — perfect when you want something simple but elevated. It’s my favorite way to turn cheese tortellini into a buttery, herby side dish in minutes.
