Ingredients
- 20 oz Cheese tortellini
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 oz Prosciutto
- 14 oz Artichoke hearts
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Step 2
While the tortellini cooks, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Gradually stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to heat through, stirring occasionally (do not let it boil).
Step 4
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Keep on low heat.
Step 5
In a separate small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces, and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy.
Step 6
Add the sliced artichoke hearts to the skillet with the prosciutto, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until warmed through.
Step 7
Combine the cooked tortellini with the Alfredo sauce in the large skillet, tossing to coat evenly.
Step 8
Gently fold in the prosciutto and artichoke hearts, taking care not to break the tortellini.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
