Chicken Tortellini with Shrimp in Avocado Alfredo Cream Sauce
This recipe came about from my love for all the ingredients and my hope that they would taste great together. Thankfully they do!
Tastes great with or without the shrimp. Mushroom or cheese tortellini can be used instead of chicken.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Blend the stick of butter and the heavy whipping cream in a medium sauce pan. Once the butter has mostly melted, add cheese, salt, pepper, and stir until smooth and creamy. The sauce will thicken once you take it off heat.
- 2
While butter is melting in pan. Have tortellini in a separate pan of water and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, take off heat, drain water and rinse pasta.
- 3
Peel both avocados, place in a small mixing bowl and cut into small pea-size chunks with a sharp knife. Mix into the sauce.
- 4
Sauté shrimp in olive or coconut oil until fully cooked. Might want to do this step first.
- 5
Blend shrimp into sauce, stir, and pour sauce mixture into the pasta. Mix thoroughly and serve. Should make 8-10 servings.

Normally I make my own Alfredo sauce when I make this recipe but lately I haven't had much time. It tastes fine with store bought stuff. I'd love to make my own tortellini as well but I haven't got brave enough to try that yet.

The soul purpose if this recipe was because I wanted to mix pesto and alfredo together. I used zucchini but am writing the recipe with spinach as I believe it would have meshed better. I used jar sauce because working mom and all, but would be just as delicious with homemade!
