We are at that time of the year when we all carve a bowl of indulgent and comfort meals. When it is cold outside, there is nothing that a creamy Chicken pasta can not fix. And this Chicken Tortellini is even better because it has cheesy tortellini, Chicken, Bacon, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and a delicious parmesan cream sauce to bring everything together. I always fall back to this sundried tomato sauce when I am not in the mood to have just plain cream sauce. Slow-cooker creamy chicken thigh and Chicken gnocchi are a must-try if you love this sauce. After our recent trip to Italy, we started loving pasta even more. Having fresh handmade pasta is altogether a different experience. To make the pasta sauce extra creamy, I always cook pasta briefly in the sauce. Another trick here is to save some of the pasta water while cooking. When pasta is cooked with the sauce and pasta water, the starch released from the pasta makes the sauce extra creamy without diluting the flavor. So next time when you make pasta, reserve some of the pasta cooking water.
Can This be Frozen?
While Pasta Can be refrigerated for a couple of days in case there is any leftover, I would not recommend freezing it. Because the sauce has cream and cheese when frozen and thawed, the dairy changes its texture.
