Pesto Alfredo Tortellini is so comforting and easy to make in just 30 minutes! Cheese tortellini is tossed in a cheesy, creamy homemade pesto Alfredo sauce that’s deliciously vibrant.
I love pesto all year round, but especially during the summertime! It’s just so wonderfully vibrant and freshly flavored. This pesto tortellini is a great comfort food for when you want something rich, creamy and cheesy, but still bright enough to enjoy on a warm summer evening.
Another huge reason to love this tortellini recipe is the simplicity of it. The list of ingredients is delightfully short and the steps really couldn’t be more simple. It’s a fabulous pasta recipe, even if you’re just learning how to cook! Serve it to your family on a weeknight or for friends on the weekend – it always delights and impresses.
As much as I love pesto all by itself, something pretty magical happens when you combine it with homemade Alfredo sauce. This tortellini recipe is supremely cheesy, creamy, and bold. Everything you love about fresh pesto combined with creamy Alfredo? Yes, please!
Heavy Whipping Cream – For the best rich and creamy Alfredo sauce, it’s best to use heavy whipping cream and nothing with lower fat content (like half and half). I really do NOT recommend substituting it.
