Creating a Tortellini Sauce

I love that there is a hint of tomato in this sauce along with the cheese. You get the best of both worlds with your pasta. The cheese that you are going to be adding to the sauce will be parmesan. Lots make a yellow cheese sauce when they make pasta dinners. For me, the parmesan along with the tomato and basil is a combination made in heaven.

Once you get the sauce and shrimp going, that is when you will add in your cheese tortellini. As I said, it’s my favorite! I can not get over how good this pasta goes together with the shrimp. It’s simply short of amazing. After everything is coated with your sauce, you can then add some more parmesan and some basil to the top for an added kick and flair. You can never have too much cheese in my opinion.

Variations to Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

This is a very simple, almost classic recipe. Since this is a very simple recipe, that leaves a lot of room to change the recipe to fit your tastes. A few ways to change up this recipe is to:

• Add tomato sauce: While this recipe has a slight bit of tomato to the sauce, you can turn this into a blush sauce by adding a little extra pasta sauce.
• Add vegetables: Many people like to add broccoli to their chicken alfredo, with this similar flavor profile, broccoli or other vegetables would be a great addition to the sauce.

How to Cook Tortellini

To cook tortellini properly, you want to boil a pot full of water. Once the water is boiling, add in the tortellini. The tortellini will sink to the bottom of the pot. Give it a stir so that the pasta does not stick. Once the water starts to boil again, watch for the tortellini to float. Once the pasta floats, scoop out the pasta using a slotted spoon or something similar. This will protect the tortellini from bursting open.
