There's something magical about the combination of ham, peas, and tortellini in a creamy sauce. This rendition calls for an extra baking to seal in the flavors and melt the shredded cheese. Add bread and a green salad and you've got dinner!
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1/2 c. ham, diced
- 1/4 c. onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 1 1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, cook ham, onion, garlic and basil in olive oil over medium heat until onion is tender, but not browned. Stir in soup and peas; heat to boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in milk and pepper.
