Ingredients
- 2 (9 ounce) packages refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block of Philly) softened
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to starting the recipe, or microwave it for 20-30 seconds. It needs to be very soft. Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Boil water for the tortellini, and cook it one minute less than package directions indicate. Drain and add it to a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Meanwhile, add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir/whisk constantly until the cheese has melted in and it's thickened up a bit (this shouldn't take more than 4-5 minutes). Don't let the sauce get too thick because it'll continue to thicken up/reduce in the oven. If it becomes a bit too thick, add in a splash more cream.
- Stir half the parmesan cheese into the sauce and then take the skillet off the heat. I add a bit of salt & pepper to the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the tortellini and then toss it and spread it out in an even layer.
- Top the tortellini with the rest of the parmesan and the mozzarella.
- Bake, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes until the cheese has melted, and then broil it for a few minutes to brown the cheese a bit (watch it carefully).
