MILLIE'S THREE CHEESE TORTELLINI 
1 (7 oz) pkg. tortellini stuffed with cheese
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter (no substitute), softened
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook tortellini according to package directions, drain reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Put tortellini back in cooking pot. Add cream cheese and butter. Mix together over low heat until tortellini is well covered with cheese - butter mixture adding cooking water if needed to make a creamy sauce. Take off heat and add parsley. Pour into a casserole dish. Top with mozzarella.

Bake at 450°F until cheese is melted and golden, 5 - 10 minutes.

NOTE: Refrigerated tortellini doesn't work well in this recipe, it gets mushy.
