How to Make Asiago Tortelloni

So, we'll be making this recipe both in the oven and on the stove.

But, don't worry, it's honestly a lot easier than it seems. All you really have to do is cook the pasta and make the cream sauce, and the rest is just popping everything in the oven to bake.

And, as I mentioned, it'll only take about 45 minutes to whip up 4 hearty servings of this pasta.

Also, while it's baking, you can make this garlic bread to go on the side for a complete meal!

Now, gather up your ingredients, and let's make this asiago tortelloni alfredo with grilled chicken Olive Garden style!

Step 1: Make the Grilled Chicken

First things first, preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

Now, marinating the chicken for enough time is crucial for maximum flavor, so you'll want to marinate your chicken for about 30 minutes before you start cooking.

When the chicken breasts are done marinating, place them on a baking tray, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they're nicely golden. By the way, cooking time might vary depending on how thickly your chicken breasts are sliced, so keep an eye on them just in case.

Then, set the chicken aside for later.

Step 2: Prepare the Tortellini and Alfredo Sauce

Now, in the meantime, let's move to the stovetop and get started on the pasta.

Place a pot of well-salted water on the stove and bring it to a boil.

Then, pop in the tortellini and cook them according to the instructions on the packaging. Drain well in a colander and set aside for later.

And now it's time to make the all-important alfredo sauce to complete this asiago tortellini recipe!

Start by melting the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat.

Next, add the garlic and saute for a few minutes until it starts to smell good.

To that, add the flour, heavy cream, and milk, then stir to combine. Also, make sure that your mix is lump-free and the flour has been incorporated fully into the cream and milk.

Now, once the sauce is smooth, add the cheese and mix until it's fully melted.

Step 3: Combine and Bake

Now combine the tortellini and alfredo sauce in a bowl.

Then, transfer everything to a baking tray and lay the grilled chicken slices across the top of the tortellini, along with the breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of extra mozzarella cheese.

Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Serve your pasta hot with fresh parsley for garnish, and enjoy!

Storing and Reheating Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo

So, as I mentioned, this recipe will make 4 generous servings. And if your making it for a family dinner, there probably won't be leftovers.

But, if there are, this asiago tortelloni alfredo with grilled chicken keeps well in the fridge, so don't be afraid to make extra. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Then, if you want to reheat the leftovers, the best way is to put it back in the oven.

Bake it in an oven-safe dish in an oven preheated to 350ºF (175ºC) for 10-15 minutes covered, plus 5 minutes uncovered.
