Begin by making the Parmesan Cheese Sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add garlic, cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stir in flour, salt, nutmeg and black pepper, cook 1 minute, stirring until smooth and bubbly.

Gradually stir in milk; cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. About 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, add cheese, stir until melted. Set aside.

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini 6 minutes. Drain.

Heat oven to 350 F.

Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole.

In a large bowl, combine cooked tortellini and all remaining ingredients except the grated Parmesan.

Mix well and spoon into casserole dish.

Cover and bake for 30 – 40 minutes, or until thoroughly heated, stirring twice during baking.

Remove from oven; uncover.

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Cover, let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
