Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup processed liquid cheese spread (recommended: Cheese Whiz)
1 package (8 ounces) shredded 6-cheese Italian Blend (Mozzarella, smoked Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina, and Asiago cheeses)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 packages (9 ounces each) fresh cheese tortellini
Salt

Directions

Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and bring to a simmer. Whisk in processed cheese. Gradually whisk in shredded cheeses. Stir until cheeses melt and mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Whisk in cayenne.

Meanwhile, cook the tortellini in a pot of boiling, salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Add tortellini to cheese sauce. Toss to coat. Divide tortellini and sauce equally among the pasta bowls and serve immediately.

Quick, Easy, Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I make this one whenever I'm short on time and just don't know what to make. I always make sure I have the ingredients to... this recipe in my house. The sauce is great, and the cayenne gives it a little kick. I've tried it with whole and lowfat milk. It was good either way, but the sauce was a little grainy with the lowfat milk.Read more

I made it my own
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this once according to the recipe and didn't really care for it so Instead of tortellini I used spaghetti noodles. I... also added chicken. My family doesn't really care for all the different cheeses so i just used the cheese whiz and a bag of Colby and Monterrey jack. I also added about half cup of Parmesan. To make it a little creamer i added about half cup of heavy whipping cream. It was so good and creamy and worked well to heat and serve later. Read more

Super Easy, Super Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This easy recipe is something the whole family will enjoy. I did not have cayenne pepper, so I used red pepper flakes... instead. It turned out wonderful. I have a picky eater in the family, and she cleaned her plate. I would definitely recommend this recipe for a fun, fast, and fabulous meal.Read more

Who'd thunk it?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't believe this was so good. It was beyond creamy and SO easy. I loved the cheese mixture and how smooth it makes the... pasta taste. When it cools, it's almost like a cheesy pasta bake that sticks together, but we love that!Read more
