Tortellini is already delicious. Drown it in creamy, garlicky Parmesan sauce? Now we’re talking. One pot. 15 minutes. No draining. No fuss. Faster than delivery. Creamier than your dreams.
Sauté Garlic
Melt butter in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add garlic. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Make Sauce
Pour in heavy cream and broth. Bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly.
Cook Tortellini
Add tortellini to the sauce. Simmer 5-7 minutes (or according to package directions) until tortellini is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately. One pot. No dishes. Maximum comfort.

Storage Notes
Best fresh. Fridge 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat with a splash of milk or broth to loosen sauce. Avoid microwave — sauce may separate. Not freezer-friendly (cream sauces don’t freeze well).
