2 packages (9 oz each) refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/3 cups vegetable broth
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and mushrooms in butter 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender. Sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper; cook and stir 1 minute. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly until sauce thickens slightly. Add cream cheese; cook and stir until melted. Stir in tomatoes, bell pepper and basil.
  • Place tortellini mixture in baking dish. Top with mushroom-cheese sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until bubbly.
