Creamy Parmesan Cheese Tortellini

This is an amazing, creamy, savory pasta dish. NOT for those on a diet. The virginia sweet ham with the parmesan cheese make a great pair. You can substitute any flavor stuffed tortellini for the cheese that I use. I use the filled Buitoni tortellini in the refridgerated section.
