Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the cheese tortellini to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, generally about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and bring to a gentle simmer.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the cream sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it well and add it directly to the skillet with the cream sauce.
Toss the tortellini through the sauce until it is well-coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the tortellini hot, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
