Notes
Feel free to experiment with different types of tortellini, such as spinach or mushroom, to change up the flavors.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your desired spice level – start with a teaspoon and add more if you want a bit more heat.
To achieve a truly creamy sauce without the risk of curdling, be sure to reduce the heat when adding the heavy cream and Parmesan.
Leftover One-Pot Spicy Garlic Butter Chicken Tortellini can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
