- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
Bring chicken broth, minced garlic and basil to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add tortellini and continue to boil for 10-12 minutes, or until most of the broth is absorbed.
Stir occasionally.
Do not drain pasta!
Add the half & half and simmer until most of the half & half is absorbed, about another 5 minutes.
Stir frequently so the pasta doesn't scorch.
Add the parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted and coats the tortellini.
Add the crab meat and stir gently to mix.
Top with freshly ground pepper and shredded parmesan to taste.
