This time of year I really gravitate towards comfort food. For me- Easy Family Dinner Ideas tops my list when I want something warm & tasty to enjoy. A family favorite for us is typically an Alfredo tortellini. But this time we decided to twist things & make it even better. We came up with this new tortellini recipe that just makes all others pale in comparison. Oh my it was delicious.
Chicken Vodka Tortellini
We decided to change things from our traditional Alfredo sauce & add some Vodka sauce in there too.
The blend of the sauces was AMAZING!!!
It’s also key here to make sure you grill or saute you chicken before hand. It gives such a wonderful flavor vs. just boiling it.
This turned out so good. I can’t wait to make it again. Definitely a new family favorite.
I may never go back to regular Alfredo tortellini.
