Ham and Cheese Tortellini


This is an easy dish to make..it can be quite inexpensive if you use Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese.  I happen to prefer the taste of Gruyere...but you can pick your favorite.

  1. 1 Tablespoon butter
  2. 1 cup diced yellow onion, diced
  3. 8 ounces deli Ham or Canadian bacon, diced
  4. 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
  5. salt and pepper, to taste
  6. 1 (19 oz.) bag tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  7. 1/2 cup baby peas, frozen
  8. 1 cup heavy cream
  9. 1 cup shredded Cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyere
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onions and ham and cook for 5 minutes.  Add the chicken broth, peas and tortellini.  Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add cream and cheese.  Cover and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened.
