Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Pasta Mixture
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 jar (16 ounces) white Alfredo pasta sauce
2 packages (9 ounces each) refrigerated cheese-filled regular or spinach tortellini
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil leaves or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
Crumb Topping
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 cup fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. For pasta mixture, chop onion using Food Chopper. In Executive (4-qt.) Saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic pressed with Garlic Press. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in pasta sauce, tortellini, chicken, milk, water, peas and black pepper. Heat until mixture just comes to a boil; remove from heat. Stir basil into pasta mixture. 2. Meanwhile, for crumb topping, grate Parmesan cheese using Rotary Grater. Place butter in Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave on HIGH 30-45 seconds or until melted. Stir in bread crumbs and cheese; mix well. 3. Spoon pasta mixture into Square Baker; sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Do not substitute refrigerated Alfredo sauce; it may separate and curdle during baking. To quickly snip basil leaves, stack the leaves and roll them up into a tight cylinder. Using the Chef's Knife, slice the roll crosswise into thin strips. Separate strands and snip them using Professional Shears.
