For an even richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as sauteed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through. To prevent the sauce from separating, ensure the heat is low and consistent when melting the cheese. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

StepWhile the tortellini is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until a smooth paste forms (a roux). (5 minutes)

05
StepStir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, white wine, garlic, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
