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!

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.

Greeting from South Bend, Indiana (home of Notre Dame and the Studebaker). My Grandmother got me interested in cooking at a young age. On my own, I would have cooked a lot more, but cooking for one was always such a hassle. Now that I am married, my husband enjoys the home-cooked dishes. Some hobbies of mine include: scrapbooking, photography and many activites outdoors (golfing, camping, hiking and beach volleyball), surfing the internet, and browsing through cookbooks of course!
