Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated tortellini
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, add the refrigerated tortellini, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly mix all ingredients together.
  2. Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the mixture for 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking allows the tortellini to become tender and the flavors to meld into a creamy Alfredo sauce.
  3. Add Mozzarella: About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese to melt it into the sauce, adding richness and a gooey texture.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Once the mozzarella is melted, serve the tortellini Alfredo garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • You can use frozen tortellini but adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they’re fully cooked through.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Add cooked chicken or vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra protein and nutrients.
  • Season with additional garlic powder or Italian seasoning for more flavor variations.
