Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2-1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally in 1 1/2 inch pieces (3/4 pound)
3/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Boil broth with garlic, thyme and lemon pepper in a large heavy skillet until reduced to about 1 cup, about 6 minutes or so.
  • Meanwhile, cook tortellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water) according to package directions. Drain.
  • Stir cornstarch into cream, then whisk into broth. Bring to a simmer, whisking, then continue to simmer 1 minute. Add asparagus and simmer until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese and tortellini and cook, gently stirring, until heated through.
