Ingredients
  

For the Pasta

  • 2 cloves garlic fresh garlic adds essential depth; try roasted garlic for a sweeter note

  • medium saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Baking dish

Method
 

Directions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook until just tender, typically about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside, leaving some steam to help keep them warm.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 2 cups of heavy cream, allowing it to simmer gently, and mix in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy Alfredo sauce until each piece is well-coated.
  4. Pour the tortellini mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top generously with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the dish for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
