This stovetop dish can be easily adapted to use what you have on hand; the basic recipe can be used in any number of unique combinations.

Vegetable Tortellini Alfredo
Cheese tortellini in a creamy Alfredo sauce is a quick and easy dinner when you use quick start ingredients. Easily adapted to your preferences, you can use fresh or frozen tortellini along with your choice of frozen vegetables. If you are short on time, a jar of prepared Alfredo sauce is a quick substitute, or use our homemade Alfredo sauce with just butter, cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. If fresh vegetables are in season, this is a good way to use them – just steam and add to the pasta instead of frozen vegetables.
