Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim the asparagus and slice it thinly on the diagonal.
  2. In a large heavy skillet, boil the chicken broth with garlic, thyme, lemon zest, and pepper until reduced to about 1 cup, approximately 6 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and lemon zest.
  3. Cook the tortellini in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions, then drain.
  4. Mix the cornstarch into the cream, then whisk it into the broth. Bring to a simmer, whisking continuously, and simmer for 1 minute. Add the asparagus and simmer until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and tortellini, and cook gently until heated through.
