Ingredients (for 4 servings)

Option 1: Classic Sauce

Ingredients
1 can of tomato sauce (398 ml) 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional) 125 ml (½ cup) of 15% or 35% cream, or Belsoy 50g grated parmesan (or other cheese) 1 tbsp butter or oil Salt, pepper and herbs (basil or oregano), to taste

Option 2: With Tomato Soup

Ingredients
1 can condensed tomato soup (284 ml) 125 ml (½ cup) 15%, 35%, or Belsoy cream 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional) 1 tbsp butter or oil 50g grated parmesan (or other cheese) Salt, pepper and herbs (basil or oregano), to taste

Instructions

Sauté the garlic (optional): Heat the oil or butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes without burning. If you don't like garlic, skip this step. Stir in the tomato base : Classic option: Add the tomato sauce, mix and simmer for 5 minutes. Tomato soup option: Add tomato soup (without diluting), mix and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream or Belsoy : Reduce heat to low, pour in the cream or Belsoy and mix gently until smooth. Stir in the Parmesan : Add the Parmesan cheese or its alternative. Mix well so that it melts into the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs, if desired. Serve hot : Cover tortellini or any other dish with this sauce and garnish with fresh Parmesan cheese (optional).

Tips

Cream alternative: Swap the cream for Belsoy for a vegan or lactose-free version. For a thicker sauce, add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little water before stirring. Without Parmesan: Nutritional yeast is a great alternative for a slightly cheesy, umami flavor. Alternatively, a hint of maple syrup can balance the acidity of the sauce. Light version: You can also opt for evaporated milk or plain yogurt as alternatives to cream.
