Easy Cheesy Tortellini

1 pound store bought cheese tortellini
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cups chopped cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup plus more for topping, grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped basil

 Cook Tortellini according to package directions, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water before draining. In pot simmer pasta, cream and zest, stirring. Off heat, stir in tomatoes, cheese and basil. Toss, adding pasta water as needed to thin sauce.
Top with additional Parmesan cheese (optional)

I get the cheese and spinach tortellini that is in a bag in the dry pasta section.  This is a quick and easy meal!
