A quick and easy one-pan tortellini recipe with a silky Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (19 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the skillet.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tortellini is tender, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the tortellini, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Serve immediately with garlic bread and a side salad for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable; feel free to add cooked chicken or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • For a lighter sauce, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce may not be as rich.
