- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic.
- Sauté until golden brown.
- Next add the vegetable stock followed by the heavy cream.
- Reduce liquid for six or seven minutes.
- Next add the cornstarch and water mixture.
- Keep stirring sauce over medium heat until it begins to thicken slightly.
- Sauce won’t be too thick, but will coat the back of a spoon.
- Next add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, and the salt and pepper to taste.

- Boil tortellini according to package directions.
- Drain, and toss with sauce, peppers and peas,.
- I like to cook pasta in sauce over the heat for 1-2 minutes and then serve.
