Ingredients

  • 1 19-ounce frozen tortellini (meat or cheese)
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • Fresh grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • Italian parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add (1) 19-ounce container of frozen tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7 - 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, combine 2 cups alfredo sauce and 1 cup of marinara sauce. Stir well to combine, creating a creamy rose sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauces to meld together and heat through.
  • Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet with the rose sauce. Gently stir to coat the tortellini evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 - 3 minutes, until the tortellini is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
  • Transfer the tortellini with rose sauce to serving bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped Italian parsley. ENJOY!

Notes

Sauce Ratio: Adjust the Alfredo-to-marinara ratio to customize the creaminess and flavor of the rose sauce.
Fresh Garnishes: Parmesan and parsley add the perfect finishing touch; use fresh for the best flavor.
Versatile Tortellini: Choose meat or cheese tortellini to suit your preference, or try spinach-filled for a twist.
