Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen, Weight Watchers-friendly brand preferred)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 oz Fat-free cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic and sauté it in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsweetened almond milk and fat-free cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the alfredo sauce.
Remove from heat and divide the tortellini into four equal servings.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
