Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with:
- A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Garlic bread or crusty artisan rolls for dipping into the creamy sauce.
- A glass of dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, or a sparkling water infused with citrus.
Tips for Success
- Fresh Tortellini: If possible, opt for fresh tortellini for the best texture and flavor.
- Balance the Salt: Salami and Parmesan are salty, so taste before adding extra salt to the sauce.
- Add Veggies: Toss in fresh spinach or sautéed mushrooms for added nutrients and flavor.
- Customize Your Protein: Swap salami for prosciutto, pancetta, or even grilled chicken.
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add extra red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
- Veggie Lovers: Mix in roasted cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers.
- Lighter Option: Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use frozen tortellini?
A: Absolutely! Just adjust the cooking time based on the package instructions.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes, but for the best texture, cook the tortellini and prepare the sauce separately. Combine and heat just before serving.
