Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway, until melted and smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the almond flour and one egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Use your hands if kneading is necessary.

Step 4

Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until thin (about 1/8 inch thick). Use a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to make the filling.

Step 6

Place a small amount of filling (about 1/2 teaspoon) in the center of each dough circle. Fold each circle in half, pressing the edges to seal, then bring the two corners together to form a tortellini shape.

Step 7

Place the tortellini on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly firm but not browned.

Step 8

While the tortellini bakes, prepare the cream sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 9

Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the baked tortellini from the oven and gently toss them in the cream sauce.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your low-carb tortellini with cream sauce!
