Ingredients
- 1 (20-ounce) package fresh, refrigerated tortellini (such as Buitoni)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup half and half
- 1 ½ cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving (if desired)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini according to package directions and set aside. Save 1 cup of the pasta water just in case you'd like to thin out the sauce at the end.
- In a large saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the garlic and stir until coated.
- Increase heat to medium and begin to add the cream a splash at a time, stirring after each addition. Once all of the half and half has been incorporated, stream in the milk, whisking all the while, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper, and stir once more.
- Add the tortellini to the alfredo sauce, stir to coat, and serve!
