Instructions
Cook the Tortellini
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Do not overcook to keep the texture soft but firm.

Sauté the Garlic
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about one minute until fragrant. Stir constantly so garlic does not burn or turn bitter.

Add Seasonings
