1/4 pound butter
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
fresh basil, optional
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the frozen pasta and cook for 15 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta but do not rinse it. Set aside.
Combine the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and basil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted.
Add the tortellini to the cream sauce along with the Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
