How to Make Loaded Cajun Alfredo Tortellini
- Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant, around 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until you can smell that amazing aroma.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
- Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all those incredible flavors together!
- Toss the cooked tortellini into the skillet, ensuring they are completely coated in the creamy sauce. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts beautifully into the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
