This cheesy pasta and shrimp dish combines a creamy sauce with tortellini and savory shrimp, topped with mozzarella and red pepper flakes for a delightful meal. It's easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy dinner.
1: In a deep skillet, melt the butter & saute the onion until translucent - about 15 minutes on medium/low heat.
2: Stir in the flour, tomato paste, and garlic - cook on medium heat, stirring often for about 3-5 minutes.
3: Pour in the half and half, water, bouillon, and drained tomatoes. Season with preferred seasonings.
4: Pour in the tortellini, cover, and simmer until cooked and the mixture thickens.
5: Once thickened, stir in the parmesan cheese. Top with freshly shredded mozzarella and red pepper flakes. Bake until bubbly and slightly browned.
6: For the shrimp, toss with cajun seasoning. Heat the oil in a separate skillet until sizzling. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side and serve with the pasta!
