How to Make Cheese Tortellini With Cannellini Bean Sauce
- Cook 1 (9-ounce) package of cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

- In a food processor or blender, combine the drained cannellini beans, 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the blended bean mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly thickened.
