This was delicious!! I didn't have any cream, so after sauteeing the veggies, I just added a dab of butter and a tablespoon of flour, let it cook out for a minute and poured in some skim milk. It was awesome!! I made it with chicken and prosciutto tortellini's. It had the perfect amount of spice and I will definitely make this one again!
