Simple & Creamy Tortellini Alfredo

Ingredients:

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 cup water

2 pkg. (9 oz. each) refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cloves of garlic

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, cubed
1 package shrimp - remove tails

1 cup frozen peas

3/4 cup KRAFT Finely Shredded Italian* Five Cheese Blend or Parmesan and Mozzarella
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes

6 slices Bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled


Pour broth and water into large saucepan (I used our wok); stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Add tortellini. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Add garlic and simmer 8 to 9 min. or until tortellini is tender. (Do not drain.) Meanwhile cook bacon in microwave.

Add cream cheese, shrimp and peas; stir. Heat 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted, stirring occasionally.

Stir in shredded cheese, tomatoes and bacon.

The sauce was kinda soupy. Not sure if I would have cooked it longer if it would have thickened. It was still very good... especially with garlic bread.
