Ingredients
- 10 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen, Weight Watchers-friendly brand preferred)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 oz Fat-free cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the tortellini cooks, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Mince the garlic and sauté it in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsweetened almond milk and fat-free cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the alfredo sauce.
Step 7
Remove from heat and divide the tortellini into four equal servings.
Step 8
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
