- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onions
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup frozen peas
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the kielbasa until warm
- Add the tortellini, water, onions, paprika and garlic powder
- Cover, and cook on high, stirring occasionally, until tortellini is almost done
- Stir in the peas

Notes
This recipe calls for 1 20-ounce package of refrigerated, fresh tortellini or 2 9-ounce packages. I used Buitoni brand. Using less than that will affect results.
Sauce will be on the thin side.
