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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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
