1

In a pot, boil tortellini until ALMOST al dente. Drain, set aside. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the water in case you need to thin your sauce
2

In a skillet on low heat add oil and butter
3

Once butter is melted add garlic. Stir until fragrant, about 1 min.
4

Add flour and whisk about 3 min, until it starts to smell "nutty"
5

Slowly add half and half while whisking.
6

Add Parmesan and stir until sauce is smooth. Add seasonings.
7

Add tortellini to your sauce mixture, allow it to finish cooking about 2 min. Add some of the water you set aside if you find your sauce is too thick
8

Serve it up! Top with more parm and fresh parsley.
