1/2 teaspoon pepper |

7. Add tortellini. Cook and stir for approximately 2 minutes.
8. Pour sauce over top.
9. Add 2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and stir.
10. Top with 1 tablespoon margarine cut into small pieces.
11. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese (I didn't measure and just sprinkled on top).
