Ingredients
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 cup diced ham
Two 9-ounce packages cheese tortellini
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Bring the milk, cream cheese and Parmesan to a simmer in a large saucepan, whisking vigorously until the cream cheese is dissolved and the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir in the peas, remove from the heat, and stir in the ham.
