Instructions

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, toss with cooked tortellini.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cream based on your preference.
If you prefer a more garlicky flavor, you can add an extra clove of garlic.
This sauce can also be used for other pasta dishes, such as fettuccine or penne.
For extra richness, add a spoonful of cream cheese along with the heavy cream.
