INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini

  • Sauce Base

    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 🧀 1 ½ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
    • ¼ cup dry white wine
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Protein

    • 🍗 ½ pound grilled chicken, cubed

  • Topping

    • 🧀 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini, stir, and cook until tortellini float to the surface and the filling is hot. Drain.

3

While tortellini is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; mix well and simmer for 5 minutes. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano, white wine, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

4

Toss drained tortellini and chicken together in an ungreased 11x17-inch casserole dish. Pour Alfredo sauce over top, then cover with mozzarella cheese.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
