2
In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil for boiling the tortelloni.
3
Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
4
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet, and sauté until softened, approximately 2-3 minutes.
5
Add in the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well until fragrant, this should take about 1 minute.
