Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces deli ham diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 bags (9 ounces, each) refrigerated cheese tortellini *see note
- 1/2 cup baby peas frozen
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded Pepper Jack or Mozzarella cheese divided
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until onion is translucent. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add ham. Cook and stir about 5 minutes.
- Add chicken broth and tortellini. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and let mixture come to a boil. Cover with lid, then reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 minutes or until tortellini is tender. Remove lid; stir in peas and cream. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top. Place under broiler in oven until cheese is melted. (Watch closely the entire time so you don't burn it!) Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Can also use frozen tortellini. No need to thaw first.
