  • When selecting the tortellini, make sure to choose a four-cheese variety for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to use fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano for the best flavor and texture in the finished dish.

  • Substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth for a richer flavor. This will add a subtle sweetness to the garlic-cream sauce that will complement the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Substitute Parmigiano-Reggiano with Pecorino Romano cheese for a sharper flavor. This will add a more intense flavor to the dish that will balance out the sweetness of the garlic-cream sauce.

Vegetarian Option Replace shrimp with 1/4 cup of black beans and 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper. Omit the Worcestershire sauce and add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Cook until bell peppers are softened.
