Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until just al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and becomes smooth. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to create a silky sauce. Let this simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in one cup of the Parmesan cheese, along with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until the cheese melts completely and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, gently folding everything together until each piece is coated.
  6. Transfer the saucy tortellini mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
  7. Place your Tortellini Alfredo Casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheese for better melting. You can add cooked chicken or vegetables for extra flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
