I used sun-dried tomatoes for this and it tasted great--will use this recipe again and again.

I used dry mini spinach/cheese ravioli in place of the tortellini, and sprinkled mozzarella on top when I discovered that I was out of parmesan. I also used chicken that was pre-cooked and frozen, but my alfredo sauce mix was a "garlic alfredo" so I think that evened things out as far as the garlic goes. ;) Even with my substitutions, this came out great. I was afraid it wouldn't be enough sauce, but it was just right. I served it with applesauce and steamed broccoli. I'll definitely repeat this dinner- thanks for sharing the recipe!

Easy and delicious... thats a good combo. The family loved it! I did add some mushrooms and a little italian seasoning for my personal tastes.

I made this using Ragu alfredo sauce in a jar. I also added some mushrooms I had on hand. It was an easy dish and very good. DH liked it too. While it tasted great, it did not have any color and did not look very appealing. I served peas on the side but next time I make it, I will add the peas to add color.
