- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk and butter in equal amounts.

- For a heartier dish, add cooked chicken or shrimp to the tortellini.
- If you don't have frozen peas, you can use fresh peas instead. Just blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
- To make this dish ahead of time, cook the tortellini and Alfredo sauce according to the package directions. Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the sauce and tortellini over low heat until warmed through. Stir in the peas and serve.
