This recipe is based loosely on a Taste of Home recipe. It's a great way to reinvent leftover ham! It's very quick and simple and uses mostly pantry ingredients.

How To Make ham and tortellini skillet

  • 1
    Cook tortellini according to directions on package. Drain and set aside.
  • 2
    Melt butter over medium heat in a heavy skillet. Saute bell pepper and broccoli until slightly tender. Add ham and garlic, saute until heated through. (I let the ham get a little crispy, which was delicious)
  • 3
    Combine broth, cornstarch, and pesto and add to skillet. Bring to boil and cook until thickened.
  • 4
    Add milk or cream, tortellini, peas, and half of the cheese. Toss well. Salt and pepper to taste.
