Tortellini With Asparagus and Tomatoes image

I whipped this together after reading a similar recipe calling for spinach instead of asparagus. My bf really enjoyed this. I hope you do too! P.S. I am going to be honest and tell you I don't measure anything, so these are really approximations of the ingredients I used. PLEASE adjust to what you feel would better suite your taste.

0.5 (12 ounce) bag frozen tortellini (I used cheese tri-colored)
1 lb asparagus (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
3/4 cup milk (I use 1%, it really doesn't matter, higher fat=more rich)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 -5 fresh basil, leafs (clean and rip into pieces)
1 teaspoon mrs. dash garlic and herbs

  • Fill pot w/ water and set to boil. At the same time put about 1/4 inch of water in medium size pan and set to boil.
  • Add tortellini to boiling water in pot (cook according to directions on package) and asparagus to boiling water in pan.
  • After about 4 minutes if the water in the pan isn't evaporated poor out. Add butter to the asparagus and allow to melt. Add milk and seasonings.
  • After sauce has reduced to your desired consistency, remove from heat. Add tomatoes, basil, Parmesan, and cooked tortellini.
  • Mix and serve!
  • (You could add cooked chicken to this, or spinach or broccoli.).
