Easy recipe for tortellini alfredo #Italianfood

When I first tasted Tortellini Alfredo, it was at my best friend Rosemary’s house. She is 100% Italian and such a gifted cook. She served it as a side dish at Sunday dinner with homemade meatballs, sauce, linguine, pork (also cooked in the sauce), tossed romaine salad with black olives, cherry tomatoes and so on, plus homemade Italian bread.

Oh my goodness, what a meal! I had never had tortellini-anything until then. That first dinner introduced me to one of my favorite foods. Wow! I walked away with the recipe. I wasn’t going to let this one get away.

 

Tortellini Alfredo Recipe

Creamy homemade Alfredo sauce mixed with cheese tortellini, bacon and peas. Simple!
 
Caution: everyone overeats when this is served. I consider that to be a great indication of how wonderful it is.

Rosemary served her Tortellini Alfredo alongside meatballs and sauce.
I often serve it as a compliment to Belgian Brisket .
Cornbread is also a great addition to this meal.
