Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Melt the cubed butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, cook for 1 minute, until golden brown. Reduce the heat to low, add the finely chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until golden. Pour into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the tortellini and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Whilst the pasta is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt, then toss through the rocket.
Step 4
Drain the pasta, reserving a cupful of the cooking water. Return the sauté pan to a low heat, add the browned butter and whisk in just enough cooking water so that you have a smooth, creamy sauce. Add the tortellini and toss together.
Step 5
Serve with grated parmesan, plenty of black pepper and the dressed salad.
