The Recipe
You'll need two saucepans for this. Get water boiling in one for the tortellini. In the other, sauce garlic in a little olive oil 1 minute. Add artichoke hearts and wine and simmer 10 minutes, uncovered. Allow to cool a little and puree in a food processor. Return sauce to saucepan and stir in sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta, brown pine nuts and reheat sauce.
To serve: Spoon artichoke sauce over tortellini and top with pine nuts. I like to decorate the plate with tomato wedges. Servesw 3 - 4.
