Skillet Tortellini
"This is a perfect substitution for potatoes to accompany steak or any grilled meats. Not only is it delicious, but it's almost as easy as baked potatoes. This has been a family favorite for years and we make it often. The cooking time includes cooking the tortellini. Enjoy!"

I really liked this! I made it as a main dish, with the following substitions/additions: instead of wine, I used dry vermouth, added 1 box of frozen artichoke hearts when I boiled the pasta, and added 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil in step 4. If I'd had fresh basil, I would have added it at the end, instead of parsley, but fresh basil is still about 5 months away. I loved how fast this came together, and was a nice, filling meal. Thanks for posting! -
This was just ok to us, not a lot of flavor. -
Truly outstanding recipe in my book. I was in such a rush tonight with life getting in the way of cooking the evening meal and this came to the rescue. Firstly, it was amazing easy and fast. Secondly, it took a store bought product like tortellini and dressed it up fancy. And most importantly, it tasted so good. I served ours along side a breaded chicken breast but next time I think I will add in some more veggies when I am doing the garlic and make this a main dish. I sprinkled some Parmesan on at the end and that was really good. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag. -
I really enjoyed this. It was so simple and and a definite keeeper. Thanks. -
This is a great recipe! I added a can of mushrooms while I was sauteeing the garlic. So easy! I served this with the Tuscan Grilled Chicken. This one is definitely going on our list of favorites. Lori J

<p>I live in Northern Indiana with my husband of 37 years and best friend, Evan. Due to unfortunate circumstances and God's grace, we are raising our two beautiful grandchildren from our daughter, Chris, who lost her battle with breast cancer after a hard, four year battle. It is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. God has blessed us with these kids and it is an honor to be able to raise them. That's not to say, it's easy. Organization is the key. We do lots of meal planning and advance preparation. <br /><br />Evan & I enjoy eating out at fine restaurants and then trying to re-create gourmet meals at home. Unfortunately (?) we are such good cooks that we are usually disappointed when eating out because we know that what we prepare tastes better (and less expensive). Therefore, we usually only order something that we haven't made at home. <br /><br />We love to cook together and spend many hours cooking for family and friends. Quite honestly, Evan is the better cook in the family. He has a knack for knowing what flavors and spices blend well together and has created many original creations. <br /><br />I love to find and try out new recipes - which is why I visit Recipezaar often. We've added many of your shared recipes to my public cookbook titled Permanent Edition. I only post recipes that are our favorites and feel that others will enjoy them. I look for ease of preparation AND outstanding flavor. If I post a recipe that's a little more work, it's because the end result deserves the extra effort. <br /><br />If we had a month off with no work, no responsibilities, and no financial issues; we'd spent time on the ocean in Oregon. My husband grew up in Seattle and spent summers at Cannon Beach (Oregon). I've only been there twice but absolutely love the area. <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img alt= /><br />src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /></p>
