This was delicious! I thought it was a bit spendy so I might try dried tortellini next time. My whole family loved it and gobbled it up. We didn't have any leftovers!

karen this was wonderful. Everyone in the family just loved it. The only thing different I did was follow cheryl's advice and used italian sausage which was jimmy dean's. I added more cheese and this was a great, tasty meal that will be used again. Made for karen's cookathon. Get well friend. :)
