    Nutritional Info

    Ingredients

    1 tbsp oil

    1 small onion, halved then thinly sliced

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    5 tbsp cream cheese

    4 tbsp milk

    1 tbsp basil pesto

    5 pieces large sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

    2 tbsp sliced black olives

    Salt

    Black pepper

    140 g grated mozzarella cheese (~ 1 cup), divided

    400 g fresh tortellini (~ 4 cups) - I used cheese and tomato flavour

    Instructions

    Add the oil, onion and garlic to a multicooker, and cook on the 'fry' setting for around 4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until soft and golden brown.
    Turn the machine off, and add the cream cheese, milk, pesto, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and salt and pepper. Add half of the grated mozzarella, and mix well until the residual heat in the pan has melted the cream cheese and created a sauce.
    Add the uncooked fresh tortellini, and mix well to combine. Top with the remaining mozzarella, and close the lid. Cook on the 'bake' setting for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
