• Marinara: In a 2-quart sauce pan, over medium heat, cook onion and garlic till tender.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Heat to boiling, stir to break up tomatoes.
• Reduce heat, simmer with cover on for about 20 minutes.

• I recommend blending it with a hand blender Alfredo Sauce: In small sauce pan, over medium low heat, melt butter.
• Just before mixing with pasta, add cheese, stirring until it is melted.
• Slowly add cream, heat until thoroughly mixed.
• Add to pasta according to directions.

• Garlic is the secret to this dish so use as much as you want.
• I usually adjust it according to who I serve it to.
• We love garlic so I use lots!
• I use a mixture of stuffed Tortellini, like Chicken, Sausage, etc.
• but try to stay away from cheese stuffed.
