- Remove the lid and sprinkle mozzarella and provolone cheeses evenly over the top.
- Cover and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir the melted cheese into the tortellini and sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use deli-sliced provolone if block cheese is unavailable; shred or finely chop for 1 cup.

- For a richer sauce, substitute heavy cream for half & half.
