Step 1

Heat a large pot of water over high heat until boiling.  Add in your tortellini and cook according to package directions.  Drain and set aside until ready to use.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.  Add in tomatoes and a pinch of salt.  Cook tomatoes until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes, and then add in the garlic and thyme.  Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to burst open and garlic is fragrant.  I like to slightly mash the tomatoes with the bottom of my spatula to make more of a sauce with them.

Step 3

Add in the cooked tortellini and the parsley and mix everything together well.  I like to also add in another small drizzle of olive oil.  Let cook for another minute or two and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.  Enjoy!
