How to Make Parmesan Tortellini In A Bourbon Spiked Squash Sauce
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
- While tortellini cooks, combine vegetable broth, minced garlic, and butternut squash puree in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened (about 4-6 minutes).
- Stir in bourbon, lemon juice, thyme, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. If using, add the bay leaf. Simmer for 1 minute.
- (Optional) If you want a richer sauce, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of butter.
- Drain the tortellini, reserving some pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to thin the sauce to your liking.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
