TORTELLINI ALFREDO WITH SHRIMP
I was looking in the freezer trying to figure out what to make for supper when I saw tortellini and shrimp, so I thought that it would be good in an Alfredo sauce. The smaller the shrimp, the better the blend. I posted this recipe on our local TV station's site and it went nationwide. I have also received 5-star reviews on this recipe.

Steps:
- Combine broth and water in saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add tortellini.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 8-9 minutes, covered.
- Add cream cheese and veggies and heat until cream cheese is completely incorporated.
- Add shredded cheese and meat and stir well.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tortellini Alfredo will taste. This is especially true for the Parmesan cheese, which should be freshly grated.
- Don't overcook the tortellini: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked tortellini will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy: The Alfredo sauce should be thick enough to coat the tortellini and vegetables, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir. If the sauce is too thin, add a little more Parmesan cheese or cornstarch. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk or cream.
- Serve immediately: Tortellini Alfredo is best served immediately after it's made. The sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
Tortellini Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give tortellini Alfredo a try. You won't be disappointed!
