What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

Today was Tante Lena's birthday so our meal was a tribute to her and everyone's favorite dish that she made no matter what the holiday or season. Brisket, challah, honeyed carrots, noodle kugel, orange and honey beets, rugelach (apricot,) seven-layer cookies, apple cake. Shana tova, y'all.
 
Just got back home from an 18-day, 17-state roadie. The first week, I was good - kept it healthy. I've eaten pretty much Junk-food-USA since. Topped off my return home with a store-bought Italian sub sandwich (not bad actually) and some Belgian Tripel (which probably explains my wacky-ass posts the last few hours).

The Belgians made you do it. I'm sure.

It was a cream sauce, cream cheese, tomato based marinara, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Topped it with shredded cheese and covered with foil to bake. At the end, I added a panko mix with olive oil and finished it uncovered. If I had it to do over, I'd add more water to the sauce pre-baking, as the tortellini soaked up more than I expected and it came out a bit dry, IMO. However, my wife liked it and I'm not very picky, so good enough.
 
Guess what time of year it is? 🌠Almond Milk Egg Nog Time! 🎆 Found it today at the grocery, bought a couple of quarts. The holidays must be right around the corner.

Only 70 calories/half cup but I only use a splash in whiskey or rum. (Kinda backwards ;))

Yeah...I dont get the peas thing, altho I used to make a "primavera tortellini" which was heavy on parmesan and olive oil and veggies for company that always went over well. No tomato/marinara sauce.
