Creamy Tortellini Alfredo




Creamy Tortellini Alfredo

1 can chicken broth
1 C water
2 pkg (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini
4 oz cream cheese
1 C frozen peas
3/4 C 4-Cheese Italian blend shredded cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked

Bring broth & water to boil. Add tortellini. Reduce heat to med-low; cover. Simmer 8 mins or until tender (do not drain). Add cream cheese & peas; stir. Heat 2 mins or until cheese is melted, sitrring occasionally. Stir in cheese & bacon.

I usually put in the whole bag of frozen peas. And you can always put in a little extra shredded cheese (I love cheese), I found Sargento has a 4 cheese Italian blend. Tina said she tried it with cheddar cheese because she had that on hand & that was really good. And I like extra bacon in this. So I make several slices of bacon, probably twice as much and cut it with my kitchen scissors. I love this!
