Ingredients
-
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
-
¼ cup butter
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
1 ½ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
½ pound grilled chicken, cubed
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini, stir, and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the surface and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain.
-
While the tortellini is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; mix well and simmer for 5 minutes, making sure not to boil. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, white wine, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
-
Toss drained tortellini and chicken together in an ungreased 11x17-inch casserole dish. Pour Alfredo sauce over top, then cover with mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips
You can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream, and plain Parmesan instead of Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired.
You can substitute cooked shrimp for the chicken, and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried parsley for fresh.
