Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package fresh cheese tortellini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons Maille Dijon Mustard (or any kind of dijon mustard)

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, cook tortellini according to packaged directions. Drain and then toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking. Set aside.
  • While tortellini is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet. Add asparagus and saute until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from skillet and cover to keep warm. Set aside.
  • In same skillet, combine chicken broth, heavy cream, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk together. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and pour over tortellini. Add in asparagus and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
