Creamy Salmon Tortellini

If there’s something I’m always tempted to order at a restaurant it’s pasta or pizza with a white sauce…Pretty sure it’s called something bianca, which is Italian and means, well, white! There’s just something so incredibly amazing about those dishes.

I don’t think this type of creamy salmon pasta is actually made in Italy, especially not with the cream cheese or creme fraiche, but it still tastes pretty amazing to me.

What Are Tortellini And Why Use them?

Tortellini are a type of stuffed pasta – they can be filled with cheese, meat, vegetables or many other different ingredients. You can find tortellini in the refrigerated section in most grocery stores these days.

For this recipe, I used cheese-stuffed tortellini – a personal choice. If you’d like to use the same sauce with another type of pasta – you can do that as well, but you might need to adjust for salt. You can even serve the sauce over zucchini noodles for a keto / low carb version of this recipe, it will also be delicious!
