If you want to prepare the Creamy Tortellini Skillet, but you do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen on a busy day, consider preparing your Alfredo sauce in advance.

  • While the spinach and tomatoes go perfectly with the tortellini, other vegetable options taste just as good with the pasta, including zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli. 
  • When adding any other vegetables, be sure to saute them beforehand to get them to blend perfectly with the soft taste of the tortellini and the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce.
