Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cup serving, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package spinach and ricotta tortellini
2 cups broccoli
1/3 cup bell pepper
1/3 cup zucchini
1 small carrot, chopped
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package alfredo sauce mix
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon light butter (I like Smart Balance) or 1 tablespoon margarine (I like Smart Balance)

Steps:

Put a large pot of water on to boil, then add tortellini and veggies. Stir to keep from sticking and boil about 10 minutes (according to package directions).
In a small saucepan combine broth, milk, and butter over med-high heat until butter melts, then add alfredo sauce mix.
Whisk to dissolve powder, then cook over medium for five minutes.
Add parmesan and whisk again for twenty seconds.
Drain tortellini and veggies then place back in pan. Pour on the sauce and voila!
