cooking spray
24 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
1 bunch asparagus, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh spinach, stemmed and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a combination of cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. You can also add a touch of white cheddar cheese for extra sharpness.
  • Cook the tortellini al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and bland.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the asparagus, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to become mushy.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.

Conclusion:

This creamy cheese tortellini with asparagus is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of creamy cheese sauce, tender tortellini, and fresh asparagus is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also easily customizable, so you can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. Remember the tips above while cooking this recipe to make it a perfect and delicious meal.
