Cheesy Tortellini



This is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make. It is so easy and quick but honestly taste like you have spent all day slaving over it. We have had to double the recipe in our home because we are always wanting more. Rachel Ray was the genius creator of this dish.

Ingredients
1 pound cheese tortellini
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
5 scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced separately
2 tablespoons flour
1 2/3 cups milk
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling



Directions

1. In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook the tortellini until al dente; drain.


2. Meanwhile, add the peas, butter and scallion whites to another large saucepan and cook over medium heat for two minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in the scallion greens and season with salt and pepper.


3. Stir the tortellini and 1/3 cup cheese into the sauce. Divide the pasta among 4 serving bowls and Easy does it sprinkle with more cheese.
