Step 1

Cook the tortellini according to package instructions.

Step 2

While the tortellini is cooking, add the olive oil and red bell peppers to a large pan over medium-low heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the tomatoes. Cook for about a minute and a half, then add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously.

Step 3

Add the milk, chicken (or vegetable) broth, and cream cheese. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the cream cheese is melted and combined, about 5-6 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the milk from burning and to help the cream cheese melt.

Step 4

Add the cheese, salt, and black pepper and stir until melted and combined. Then add the drained tortellini to the pan and mix until fully coated. Serve immediately.
