Tortellini With Roasted Garlic Sauce (Appetizer)

Made this twice this Thanksgiving season. Once for Thanksgiving day and for a Euchre party that weekend. For Thanksgiving, I made the recipe as written and everyone loved it! We all agreed that it was a nice change from the usual chips & dip. But for the Euchre party, I did everything as written up to the frying part. Since the tortellini was going to be sitting at room temp for quite a few hours, I thought by frying them they would dry out. So, instead I drained, cooled, and patted dry with paper towel. Then tossed them with a tablespoon of olive oil. They stayed great for the 4 hours that they sat out. And the dip was to dye for!!!!Thanks Gayla for a nice change of pace recipe that worked for the two gatherings I had/attended!

Awesome sauce! I just made the sauce and served it with Joe's Sausage Cheese Balls and it was so good! When we ran out of cheese balls we used crackers and it was still wonderful! Thanks for a great sauce!

My husband and I really enjoyed this, although I only used half the recommended hot sauce (which gave a bit of a kick, but didn't make me breathe fire!). It's incredibly simple to make, and unique enough to serve for guests or just a special treat. There's lots of sauce left over for the next time!

This is an awesome party recipe. I make the whole amount of sauce but I freeze half for the next time I need it. My huband loves this!

This was just OK for me. I think if we didn't have so much other food, they would have gone over better. I did eat several handfuls of the leftover past cold, as a snack and it was good. If I make it again, I will definately cut back on the hot sauce. I think the flavor overpowered the other flavors. I would have liked to taste the garlic more. I will probably make this again due to ease and uniqueness.

Great recipe!! I made it as per the recipe minus frying the tortellinis. It was a huge hit. Everyone loved it including the kids. I will be making this again this weekend for a super bowl party!!

This was very easy, and excellent tasting. I didn't roast the garlic in it's skin, instead I wrapped up a bulbs worth of already peeled raw garlic in some aluminum foil, drizzled on some evoo, folded the foil down, and roasted it in a hot oven until golden brown and aromatic. I wasn't paying attention to the time, don't have a clue how long it was in there. I used more than 1/2 c of sour cream, and less than a 1/2 c of mayo, personal preference. I included the sauteing stage, liked the texture it produced. I served the garlic sauce room temperature the first time, cold the second. Excellent flavors, GaylaJ!

This was a hit!! It dressed up the "vegetable tray" I may use the sauce for a pasta dish some time. Great, thanks for posting

Super easy to make - did not fry tortellini, just boiled it and sprayed with a little olive oil. Loved the roasted garlic and the sauce was great cold! Made for a ladies' night out, but the kids even liked the leftovers!

I too did not fry the tortellini but tossed the cooked pasta with some oilve oil. I served the tri-colored tortellini with roasted carrots and roasted asparagus. I can see may other uses for the sauce.

I loved it, the guests loved it and I got it all together except the reheating well ahead of time.

I'm not sure if it was because I made it with a lot of other rich appetizers, but it was too rich for me. I think next time I will use a tomato based dipping sauce to cut the richness. Thank you

Oh my, Gayla ~ this recipe is fabulous! I tested it out for a party I am giving in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to make it for our guests. I made as posted except I didn't heat the roasted garlic sauce. I also added a little olive oil on top of the garlic before wrapping and roasting. The recipe is very easy and is definitely a keeper!

This was outstanding! I served this for New Year's Eve. I also did not fry the tortellini. I prepared them according to the package directions and then tossed them in a little olive oil. I served them with little skewers and the garlic sauce. Delicious!!

We thought this was terrific! We used one package of chicken & cheese tortellini as well as a three cheese tortellini. There was plenty of dip left of crackers or veggies. We served the dip at room temperature as well. Thanks for posting this one!

This was delicious, as well as something a bit different. I prepared it exactly as written, although I couldn't find the fresh tri-color pasta, so mine wasn't as pretty as Gayla's photo. I used Frank's Red Hot Sauce and used the full 2 tablespoons and it was not too hot. (Gayla, you were correct - Frank's isn't as hot as Tobasco, but more flavorful. Thanks for the tip!) I boiled the tortellini and prepared the sauce early in the day and then refrigerated it. So all I had to do before dinner was saute the pasta a few minutes while I warmed the sauce in the microwave. I served it with the yummy roasted garlic sauce and also some homemade marinara I had left over. It was great with both! Thank you so much for sharing this easy and delicious recipe Gayla!
