Garlic Alfredo Cheese Tortellini is quick and easy, and oh so creamy!
This Garlic Alfredo Cheese Tortellini is creamy and garlicky and comes together in less than 30 minutes. A perfect pasta dish that's easy to throw together for a weeknight meal.
It can be the star of a meal or an amazing side dish. It pairs perfectly with my Filet Mignon or my Crispy Skillet Chicken Thighs.
The sauce is so delicious you will seriously want to lick your plate. And did I mention it's just as fantastic the next day? I recommend refrigerated tortellini for this recipe instead of frozen ones.
I have always been a huge fan of Alfredo sauce, always been my go-to choice for pasta at any restaurant. So I was simply amazed at how fantastic this homemade version is. This Garlic Alfredo sauce is thick and creamy and the best you will ever make! Smothered over cheesy pasta, no joke it is simply amazing!
You could add some broccoli or peas, and even diced-up chicken, to make it a hearty simple weeknight meal. Sure to be loved by your whole family.
This creamy sauce turns a weeknight dinner into something special.

Hello,🙋🏼♂️ Hey I was wondering if you could use garlic powder instead of minced? Ty Hagd
Yay Laura! Adding mushrooms and chicken would be delicious 🙂
This was absolutely delicious! Thinking of adding mushrooms and chicken next time.
So happy you love it Trista! Assuming your using the same size tortellini as I do about 1 1/4 cups.
Hello!! Love this recipe, it is soooo yummy! Thank you for sharing it with the world. I do have one question. It’s says it Yields six servings and it gives the calories for one serving. My question is, how much is in one serving, how much pasta? Thank you again!
