Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce package cheese and spinach tortellini
  • 4 cups of chicken broth; divided
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic; minced
  • 2 tsp. fresh parsley; finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring 2 ½ cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and let stir occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini floats to the top- this is when you know they are ready! Drain completely.
  • In the meantime, whisk together remaining 1 ½ cups broth with corn starch in a bowl. Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or frying pan until melted. Stir in garlic and parsley and let cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth-cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil; simmer until the mixture thickens. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and more parsley to your liking.
