- 1 package of cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook tortellini in salted boiling water according to package instructions until they float.
- Sauté minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, then add pumpkin puree and heavy cream.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until melted and creamy; season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the cooked tortellini and toss it with the sauce; serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Feel free to add cooked chicken or spinach for extra protein and nutrients.
