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 then 30 minutes. A perfect pasta dish that’s easy to throw together for a weeknight meal.
It can be the star for 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 its just as fantastic the next day. I recommend the refrigerated tortellini for this recipe instead of the frozen.

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.
