Method

Cook Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup pasta water.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Melt Boursin Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Add Boursin cheese and stir until smooth. Slowly pour in heavy cream, whisking continuously for a creamy sauce.
Season Sauce: Stir in Parmesan, black pepper, and salt. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water as needed.
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss gently until fully coated in sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately for best flavor.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Substitute Boursin with cream cheese and herbs if unavailable.
