I was a little dubious about not pe-cooking the pasta, but I trusted the chef. So glad that I did, this is awesome!!! Made as directed, except that I didn't realise what tortiglioni was, and used little tortellini instead, which worked marvellously! I also omitted the ricotta cheese, to be honest this is very filling and satisfying meal just as is, and I didn't feel it would have greatly benefited from the ricotta, however, I will try it like that another time. A one pot meal, no fuss, tastes great, no leftovers, we all loved it! Thanks Juliet, another winner! Made for PAC Fall 2009

A good, solid meal. Nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned supper food. I'm pretty sure this would be a kid pleaser, too. Very easy to make with pantry items you normally have. Thnx for posting, Juliet. Adopted for Spring 2008 PAC.
