The Inspiration
Growing up, Tortellini and Peas was one of my all-time favorite meals. It was the one dish in our household that never had any leftovers. I still remember saving all my peas until the end, savoring them with the rich flavors of olive oil and butter. (Yes, I was that kid who actually loved peas.)
Recently, I found myself craving this childhood classic and decided to give it a little twist by adding artichokes. Our original family recipe was simple—mainly olive oil and parmesan—but always delicious. This version, with its creamy artichoke sauce, elevates it to a whole new level
Finding Gluten Free Tortellini:
I used Taste Republic’s Gluten-Free Tortellini for this recipe. It’s my go-to choice because it’s easy to find in stores, especially around Southern California, and it’s also available on Amazon for added convenience!
Another great option is Manini’s, which offers a gluten-free tortelloni. (Tortelloni is similar to tortellini but slightly larger in size.)
Kite Hill and Manini’s both offer gluten and dairy free options for Tortellini, though they are nut based. If you find a gluten, dairy, soy, and nut free option, please link below in this comments! (I would love to try)
The Secret is in the Artichokes
The real magic of this dish lies in the artichokes! Air frying them before blending them into the sauce is a game changer, adding a depth of flavor and texture that makes this Creamy Gluten Free Tortellini with Artichoke & Peas recipe truly stand out. I use canned artichokes for convenience, but feel free to experiment with fresh ones if you’re up for a challenge (I haven’t tried it yet myself).
