Looking for quick and indulgent pasta dishes that the whole family will love? This tortellini carbonara recipe is an interesting twist in classic Italian dishes, swapping spaghetti for tender, cheese-filled tortillas.

Tortellini cooks quickly, making it an easy dinner recipe that is perfect for busy weekday nights. It’s pure comfort food, and the creamy sauce tastes worth the restaurant in less than 25 minutes.

Pair garlic bread with crispy salad for a delicious meal.
