YUMMY! This is so creamy and delicious. It's quick to the table and very satisfying. Ingredients:
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth |
2 tablespoons garlic, minced |
1/4 teaspoon thyme |
1/2-1 teaspoon lemon pepper |
1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2/3 cup heavy cream |
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally in 1 1/2 inch pieces (3/4 pound) |
3/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
Directions:
1. Boil broth with garlic, thyme and lemon pepper in a large heavy skillet until reduced to about 1 cup, about 6 minutes or so.
2. Meanwhile, cook tortellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water) according to package directions. Drain.
3. Stir cornstarch into cream, then whisk into broth. Bring to a simmer, whisking, then continue to simmer 1 minute. Add asparagus and simmer until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese and tortellini and cook, gently stirring, until heated through.
