My favorite sauce for pasta is alfredo sauce. Today, I am sharing a quick way to make a great alfredo sauce from scratch and serve it over tortellini. This roasted garlic alfredo tortellini is a fun change from the usual fettuccine.
My husband loves garlic and this recipe uses to whole head of garlic. However, the garlic is roasted and roasting garlic gives it a more mild flavor. This simple dish was definitely loved by the whole family.
