Tortellini Casserole

Okay. Yum. One simple word, and yet it can create this mass euphoria, by way of food. Well, tortellini casserole is just... yum. Made this last night with the husband and was thoroughly impressed. The quantity of ingredients was a bit higher than most recipes, and it seemed as though there were a lot of steps to manage, but the ending result was amazingly delectable. There were too many things going on at once in our kitchen, so I wasn't able to fully photograph everything that is in the mixture, but you get the idea... Recipe can be found here.

 Cook carrots and sugar snap peas with the tortellini. 
Yeah, I thought this step was weird too.
 Create the sauce.
Then add cream cheese to the sauce. Yup, just got even better.

 Mix, mix, mix. This is a culmination of the sauce, tortellini, cubed chicken, 
carrots, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and red bell peppers. 
Plus it's an "action" shot as an added bonus...grr. I need a better camera.
Bake in a casserole dish for about 30 minutes, top with Parmesan cheese. I know it doesn't 
look like much and it isn't a fancy, composed restaurant plate, but wow. So good.
