Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (9 ounce) packages cheese tortellini
1 ¼ cups milk
¼ small onion
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
¼ cup butter
1 red bell pepper, chopped
½ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and quartered
10 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 pound smoked salmon, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the tortellini 7 to 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, simmer the milk, onion, bay leaf, cloves, and nutmeg about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and discard the onion, bay leaf, and cloves.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the red bell pepper and asparagus, and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and continue cooking until tender. Mix in the smoked salmon, reduce heat to low, and cook until heated through.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Thoroughly blend in the warmed milk. Stir into the skillet with the salmon mixture.
  • Spoon the salmon and sauce mixture into the bowl with the cooked pasta, and toss to coat.
