Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup cheese such as Gruyere or Swiss cut into small cubes
2 10-ounce packages fresh tortellini with cheese or meat filling
1/4 cup grated cheese such as Gruyere or Swiss

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk, and cook until sauce is thickened and smooth. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne and cream.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and add the egg yolk, beating vigorously with the whisk. Let cool slightly. Add the cubes of cheese, stirring rapidly with the whisk.
  • Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add salt. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain well. Scatter the tortellini into a baking dish (a dish measuring 13 1/2 by 8 1/2 by 2 inches is ideal) and spoon the cheese sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the dish and place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes. To obtain a golden glaze on top of the casserole, run it briefly under the broiler until browned.
