Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 lb cheese tortellini
Instructions:
Prepare the Broccoli and Tortellini:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same pot, cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the heavy whipping cream and milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Cheese and Seasonings:
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Slap Ya Mama seasoning, adjusting to taste.
Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked broccoli and cheese tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing to coat everything in the Alfredo sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve the Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired
