  • Cook the 20 oz Three Cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • While the tortellini cooks, cut the 8 oz cream cheese into pieces and place them in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock.
  • Heat the cream cheese and stock over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
