Tips:
- To make the Alfredo sauce creamy and flavorful, use high-quality Parmesan cheese and heavy cream.
- If you don't have tortellini, you can use any other type of pasta, such as penne or spaghetti.
- For a richer flavor, add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers to the sauce.
- If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some Panko breadcrumbs on top of the casserole before baking.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken; otherwise, it will become dry and tough.

The creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and cheesy tortellini are all combined to create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
