Creamy Tortellini

Name: Creamy Tortellini
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 6-8 servings.
Ingredients: 3 cups refrigerated cheese tortellini; 2 teaspoons minced garlic; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 1 envelope vegetable soup mix; 2 cups half-and-half cream; 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley; 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese; 1/4 teaspoon pepper

An envelope of vegetable soup mix lends flavor to the simple cream sauce that coats this rich pasta entree. I like to garnish it with additional mozzarella cheese and parsley.

Ingredients

3 cups refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 envelope vegetable soup mix
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender, about 1 minute. Combine soup mix and cream; stir into skillet.
Drain tortellini; add to cream mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Add the parsley, cheese and pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

This is a family favorite in my house. It tastes as good as you would get in a restaurant and so easy to make. I did not make any changes to this recipe. Definitely a keeper!

This had a very odd flavor, I think it was from the soup mix. I would not make again.
