• 1 9-oz package of fresh tortellini
• 1 19-oz can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• fresh basil for garnish
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese (real or vegan), optional, garnish

1. Put the cannelloni beans, vegetable stock, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.
2. Heat in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot.
3. Toss with cooked tortellini and serve with optional garnish.

Really this recipe is about the white bean sauce, which is a great replacement for a rich, creamy alfredo or the like.
