Description

A fast and easy but filling pasta dish.

Ingredients

  • 400 grams Tortellini
  • Vegetable Broth, Use Pasta Instructions And Broth Instead Of The Amount Of Water That The Package Instructs
  • 200 grams Cooked Ham
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • ¼ liters Milk
  • 200 grams Cheese Spread
  • Salt And Cayenne Pepper To Taste

Preparation

Cook the tortellini according to package instructions (instead of water cook it in vegetable broth). Once it’s done drain off the broth and discard it (or you can use it for another purpose if desired). Put the drained pasta into a serving bowl and set it aside.

In the meantime, cube the ham. Put the butter into a skillet and heat it over medium heat until melted. Then add the ham and slightly fry it in the butter before adding the minced garlic, cooking until it is just translucent. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it will turn bitter. Add the flour and stir to create the roux. Let it cook for a minute or two (do not let it brown) before stirring in the milk. Let it come to a boil, then add the cheese spread and let it melt in the sauce. Add salt and cayenne to taste before pouring the sauce over the tortellini and serving.

Notes:
– This can be made vegetarian by omitting the ham, which I do quite regularly because I usually can’t find ham in the quality I like for this recipe.
– Because of its richness, it’s especially nice if served alongside a fresh green salad.
