Well, as soon as I got home from that amazing tortellini experience, I knew I had to make another one just like that at home. I searched and searched for a recipe and came up empty handed. I decided to just buy a premade box of tortellini and go with it. The result? This amazingly delicious chicken alfredo tortellini. It is creamy and loaded with parmesan cheese. The tortellini is light and airy and perfect in the sauce.
Check out what our friends over at The Gunny Sack had to say about this:

Quick Tip: If using precooked tortellini, only boil them halfway, they will continue cooking in the slow cooker.
Thanks again to The Gunny Sack for this amazing recipe.
