Cheese Tortellini Primavera

1 (9 oz) pkg refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 (1 lb) pkg frozen carrots, green beans and cauliflower
1 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1) Cook tortellini according to the package directions. Drain; keep warm.
2) Cook frozen vegetables until crisp-tender as directed on package. Drain; keep warm.
3) Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and pepper, stirring until cheese is melted. Add cooked tortellini and vegetables; toss to coat.

Review: This was yummy. Mike actually made it for me. Which was even better, because I seriously hate making sauces.

Made again on 11/6/2010, using green beans, petite peas and chopped broccoli.  Also used tortellini from Costco, so we had about six servings.  Wow, we have soooo many leftovers!!!
