3 Cheese Tortellini with Turkey Bolognese Sauce

Here's a lovely dish that simple to make and delicious. I've talked about the Turkey Bolognese sauce from Trader Joe's before because it's so good and one of my all time favorites. You could easily convince diner guests' you made this Bolognese sauce from scratch. 
 
The key to making this dish really stand out is that when the tortellini is done, toss with half the sauce, plate and place some additional sauce on top of the tortellini. Finish the dish with a drizzle of white truffle oil, fresh grated parmesan cheese, fresh ground black pepper and a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley. Wow, killer....   
 
 
Ingredients:
1 package Buitoni 3 cheese tortellini
1 package TJ's Turkey Bolognese sauce
Parmesan cheese
White truffle oil
Salt and Pepper
Chopped Italian parsley
 
 
Preparation:
Take a large stock pot and add water, a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the directions which is usually about 10 minutes. When the tortellini is done, drain really well because any water on the tortellini will dilute the Bolognese sauce and the flavor.
 
Take a large 12" sauté pan and add half the Bolognese sauce and heat to simmer. Add the tortellini, turn up the heat and toss so all the sauce is incorporated. When the tortellini is heated to serving temperature, you're done.
 
To serve, place a portion of tortellini and a plate or shallow bowl. Add some additional Bolognese sauce on top of the tortellini. Drizzle on some white truffle oil, fresh grated parmesan cheese, fresh ground black pepper and a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley.
