This one is definitely for the kids! Cheese cheese and more cheese. And a few vegetables thrown in, but don't worry - they're totally hidden in the sauce so no one suspects a thing! Super simple Sunday dinner, but would also be a gret weeknight dinner you can throw together in about 20minutes.
Tortellini Primavera
Ingredients:
3 cups assorted chopped fresh vegetables (I had mushrooms, red peppers, carrots, brocolli, cauliflower)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
salt & pepper
2/3 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 large package of Olivieri Three Cheese Tortellini (just under a pound)
Method:
Get a large pot of water boiling and cook pasta according to directions. Meanwhile, prep all of your vegetables.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high and add the vegetables and garlic. Season with salt & pepper and saute until almost done.
Lower heat a bit and add the cream cheese and milk. Once the milk and cheese have unified, add the parmesan and stir to combine.
Add the cooked pasta and VOILA - super easy dinner that any kid will dig - leftovers heat up easy for lunch tomorrow too!
Looks delish. I've never seen it with tortellini. Looks perfect.
