This creamy tortellini with vodka sauce recipe is a comforting dish with a rich, velvety texture and bold tomato flavor. Sautéed garlic and onion build an aromatic base, while tomato paste and a touch of crushed red pepper add depth and gentle heat.

Tossed with savory Barilla® Tortellini and finished with Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh parsley, each bite is smooth, satisfying, and full of character.
