Notes
As simple as basic cheese tortellini might seem, the cream and the lemon and the artichokes and Parmesan all work together in beautiful harmony to create this dish that might just become my signature. The cream is nicely offset by the acid from the lemon and the Parmesan cheese is the perfect finishing touch. It’s such a versatile dish too – you can add some protein like chicken or sausage, or some spinach would be great as well.
