A rich and creamy Alfredo sauce made with chive and onion cream cheese poured over cheese tortellini for an easy dinner!

Cheese Tortellini Alfredo

This is a really great recipe. It requires only a few basic ingredients, it’s easy to make, and my family loves it! Most homemade Alfredo sauces separate if you don’t eat it right away and they don’t have the same creamy texture when reheated.

But this recipe for Tortellini Alfredo holds it’s rich, creamy texture when reheated and the sauce doesn’t separate. It has such rich flavor brought out by an uncommon ingredient for Alfredo sauce… chive and onion cream cheese!

I highly recommend giving this a try, you’ll quickly add it to your weeknight dinner rotation!
