Preparation

Step 1

Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain, rinse, and drain again. Set aside and allow to cool in colander.

In large bowl, combine cooled tortellini and remaining ingredients except cream. Mix until thoroughly combined, then stir in cream. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes:
You can use fresh, frozen, or dried tortellini - or even use meat-filled tortellini for added flavor.
