Steps:

Add tomato puree, cream, Parmesan and most of the basil. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, chili flakes, Parmesan or basil as desired.
- ASSEMBLE: Add cooked pasta to sauce. Toss to combine well with sauce and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Serve, garnished with additional chopped basil and Parmesan cheese on top of the pasta if you like.

Tips:
- Fresh tortellini cooks faster than dried tortellini, so adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- To make the sauce even creamier, add a tablespoon of butter before adding the Parmesan cheese.
- If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the pancetta and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
