TikTok-ed Tortellini
I have been thinking about trying this method since the first time I saw it on TikTok, but I just couldn’t reconcile with feta. We had a falling out when I was pregnant 12 years ago and I guess I just can’t let go of a grudge. I have always loved Boursin, so when I saw this variation I was all in! I just happened to have tortellini in my pantry so, batter up! I also added sun dried tomatoes, balsamic, and basil; an ode to my favorite Double Tomato Bruschetta recipe. My favorite thing about this recipe was the flavor, but my second favorite thing was the low dish count.
