This pesto tortellini Alfredo is a quick and easy recipe packed with a lot of flavor. Perfect for a weeknight meal when you're rushed for time or don't feel like putting in too much effort to cook. I put it together one night with what I had on hand in the fridge.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8.8 ounce) package fresh pesto-filled tortellini (such as Amore®)
½ (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped, drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
  • While the tortellini is cooking, combine Alfredo sauce, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes in a covered saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 6 minutes.
  • Serve cooked tortellini with Alfredo sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and season with pepper.
