   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         fresh cheese-filled tortellini
    2      tablespoons   butter or margarine
    2      tablespoons   flour
    1 3/4  cups          milk
    1      clove         garlic -- crushed
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/4  teaspoon      freshly ground pepper
      3/4  cup           shredded Cheddar cheese -- divided
    2      tablespoons   freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    2      tablespoons   chopped fresh parsley
    1      tablespoon    plain dry bread crumbs
 
 Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain.
 Meanwhile, heat broiler. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
 Whisk in flour and cook until smooth and bubbly, about 1 minute.
 Gradually whisk in milk, then add garlic, salt and pepper. Cook,
 stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and just begins to boil.
 Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup
 Cheddar and the Parmesan. Discard garlic. Stir in tortellini and parsley
 until well mixed.
 Transfer mixture to shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole. Combine remaining
 1/4 cup Cheddar and the bread crumbs in small bowl; sprinkle on top of
 casserole. Broil 1 to 2 minutes, until topping is golden. 
 Makes 4 servings.
 The kids will love knowing that in Italy, tortellini are nicknamed
 "belly buttons"! Complete this menu with cherry tomatoes and
 breadsticks.
