(Don’t) marry me Tortellini

(Don't) marry me tortellini

Look, I didn't had much time cause I was working and I didn't even have the time to make myself a lunch, so I just put some water in a pot, and then I threw in some tomato sauce and some cubes of frozen chards. Then after 10 minutes I dropped in my (store bought) tortellini.

In a bowl I put some cream cheese and a bit of yogurt (cause they were going to spoil otherwise) and I did a technique I learned in Türkiye: basically you put some broth (like 3-5 tablespoons) from the pot in the bowl with the cream cheese and yoğurt and you mix everything with a whisk or whatever. This is called tempering, and it prevents the formation of lumps, that usually form because of the thermal shock.

And then I put the tempered mixture in, cooked for 2 more minutes and that's basically it.

I think I will try to refine this recipe cause it wasn't bad at all (I ate the whole thing).
