Tortellini Alfredo

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Add the cheese tortellini to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 3-5 minutes.

Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it using a colander and set it aside.

While the tortellini is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet and allow them to melt together.

Once melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Stir the cream occasionally, allowing it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth.

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

Carefully add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat in the Alfredo sauce.

Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tortellini to soak up some of the sauce.

Once well-coated, remove the skillet from the heat.

Transfer the tortellini Alfredo to serving plates.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious meal.
