Tortellini Casserole

Okay, so this one might actually take 15-20 minutes...but seems easy enough!

(From Parents Magazine)

Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) cheese or beef filled tortellini
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-fat milk
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Butter a shallow 1 1/2 to 2 quart casserole dish. Cook pasta according to package directions.

2. While pasta is cooking, prepare sauce in small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, until a smooth paste forms. Slowly add milk, whisking with a wire whisk until smooth. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until sauce bubbles and thickens. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and salt. Remove from heat.

3. Drain pasta and return to pot. Toss with white sauce and transfer to prepared casserole. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and cheese. Bake 5 to 10 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
