4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer while stirring.

5. Add grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the sauce thickens.

Notes

This dish is best served fresh while the sauce is creamy and the tortellini are tender.

Add a splash of milk or cream when reheating to loosen the sauce.

Fresh tortellini works best, but frozen can be used with slightly adjusted cooking time.
