Fast and tasty Tortellini

This really is the fastest pasta you'll ever make (just maybe not the healthiest).

1 lb package cheese tortellini ( your favorite brand from the refrigerated section--we actually always have a bunch of these in our freezer for when we need them).

Sauce:
3/4 stick butter
1 T dried basil (or fresh herbs if you've got them)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
Generous pinch of nutmeg

Lots of fresh grated parmesan to add on top of dish!

Don't start the sauce until you add the tortellini to the water. They only take about 7 minutes to cook & the sauce is done in about 5. After combining, add salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle on that cheese (essential to any great italian pasta)
