Notes

Feel free to customize your tortellini alfredo by adding proteins such as chicken, sausage, or shrimp for added flavor and texture.
For a lighter version, try reducing the heavy cream or adding vegetables like peas or spinach for extra nutrition.
This dish reheats well; just add a splash of cream or milk when warming it up to restore creaminess.
Experiment with herbs or spices, such as garlic or Italian seasoning, to enhance the flavor further. Enjoy your meal and have fun making this dish your own!
