Creamy Tortellini Lemon Pasta

This Creamy Tortellini Lemon Pasta is made in a lemon garlic sauce that has a hint of creaminess from the cheese and chicken stock that you’re sure to love. 

If you like Lemon pastas then be sure to also try my Pasta with clams or my Cajun Garlic Scallops my other favorites!

I’ve served this up many times in our home and it’s one of our favorite pasta dishes by far. 

This recipe is made with fresh spinach, baby tomatoes and Monterey jack cheese this dish is sure to impress.

Feel free to use anytime of white cheese that you like, such as parmesan or mozzarella.

I used Monterey jack cheese in this recipe to give it a bit of kick.

This is by far one of my favorite ways to make Chicken Tortellini, it is super quick, delicious and an easy yet fancy weeknight meal that can be pulled off with little effort.

Feel free to add some pre cooked sliced chicken breasts on top if desired as well. 

However you really don’t need it as this dish is pretty filling as is.

Comfort food meets healthy food, yes it’s possible. 

Most creamy pasta dishes call for cream but my recipe calls for chicken stock, making it much healthier for you.

So go ahead and indulge with this one, everything in moderation right 🙂

If your family loves pasta as much as we do, then i’m more than certain this is a dish that will be adored in your household for a longtime.

You can fancy it up even more by adding some pre-cooked shrimp on top too, Jason loves when I do that.

Sometimes if there is leftovers I will eat this cold but it definitely tastes best served hot.

Before serving just make sure you are seasoning with salt to taste and then drizzling a bit more lemon juice on top.

Then it will absolutely PERFECT!

If you end up giving it a try, I would love to hear what you think of it in the comments below.

MEAL PREP IDEA: Make enough to create a few meal preps bowls for the week ahead!

Recipe notes: You can use Parmigiano – Reggiano or Mozzarella for this pasta in replace of the Monterey jack if desired.

Chicken Tortellini Verde

Leave a comment

This simple one pan recipe is made with chicken tortellini, baby tomatoes, sour cream and green verde sauce. It doesn’t get any simpler than this folks!

If you have tried Green Chili verde in Mexican cooking before and liked it. Then your sure to like this Chicken Tortellini Verde which is made in the same Tomatillo green sauce. 

Your probably thinking, Italian pasta and Mexican Green Chili Verde! Could that possibly be good? Well I assure it is because it has the right balance of flavors.

And this recent recipe creations has turned out to be a favorite in our home.

Sure, you won’t typically find this offered in any mexican or italian restaurant. However I encourage you to give it a try if you are a foodie like me! It’s an excellent fusion dish and is absolutely delicious! 

Now there is a process to making authentic tomatillo sauce and that starts with roasting tomatillos, along with garlic, jalapenos and onions in the oven. 

However that takes a lot of time and would make this recipe not so quick. So instead we are using a pre -made green chili sauce that has all those authentic mexican ingredients in it. 

So what are Tomatillos anyway? Well they are little green looking tomatoes, known as the Mexican husk tomato, but they are hard to find here in Canada. 

And even so I prefer to buy it pre-made its still natural and fresh. Also don’t forget to add the sour cream as well, this really kicks up the flavor and pulls the dish together.
