Ingredients

2 tbl Butter

1 cup Whole milk

1/4 cup Cheez Whiz

1 pkg. (8 oz) shredded Italian blend cheese

1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper

2 packages (9oz each) fresh cheese tortellini

Preparation

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.

Add milk and bring to a simmer.

Whisk in Cheez Whiz.

Gradually whisk in shredded cheese.

Stir until cheeses melt and mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Whisk in cayenne. Meanwhile, cook 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 pasta bowls and serve.

Cook's Notes

Can be made 1 day ahead. Transer tortellini and sauce to a 2 quart baking dish. Cover and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.
