Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound beef tortellini
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes drained
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the tortellini and water, then quickly cover with a lid. Let the tortellini steam for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the Dutch oven and stir in the cream, tomatoes, and mustard.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted, everything is combined, and the sauce is thick, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

    • Cook it over a campfire--To make this over a campfire, set your Dutch oven above a bed of hot coals. Depending on the distance from the coals, the cooking times may be slightly different.
    • Be careful!--Use caution when removing the lid of your Dutch oven after steaming the tortellini as there may be a rush of hot steam.
    • Storage--Store leftover pasta in a sealed container in your cooler or fridge for up to 3 days.
