Ingredients

2 packages refrigerated cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. In the bottom of a crockpot, add cream cheese (cut into cubes), heavy cream, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to combine.

2. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through.

3. Stir the melted mixture until smooth. Add the tortellini and Parmesan cheese. Gently stir to coat.

5. Garnish with parsley and optional red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

You can add cooked chicken or shrimp in the last 15 minutes for extra protein.

Use refrigerated tortellini for best results; frozen works with added time.

Reheat with a splash of milk or cream to maintain the creamy texture.
