Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
Red pepper flakes
Chopped parsley
Method
This recipe is a great starting point, but add additional toppings or more lemon/salt to your liking.
Step 1.
Boil water and cook tortellini following package directions.
Step 2.
While water is boiling, get all ingredients ready. Place olive oil in a small sauce pan and heat over medium-low. Once hot, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just starting to lightly brown. (If your garlic burns, start over.) Pour into a bowl. Add lemon juice, zest, and salt.
Step 3.
Once tortellini is cooked and drained, place in a large serving bowl. Pour warm olive oil sauce overtop and very lightly toss to keep tortellini intact. Taste and add more lemon juice or salt if desired.
Step 4.
Top with red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, and additional lemon zest if desired.
Step 5.
