Mmmm, quick and delicious! I followed the recipe, using cheese tortellini, normal cream, fresh basil leaves, and no olives. Easy to prepare, I got a rich thick coating sauce and we absolutely loved this, no left overs! Thank you, will make this again! -
Thanks. I basically used your ingredients and added a pinch of this and that...I used heavy cream and rosemary I had in fridge. Topped with some cheese, omitted olives. Very quick, easy and filling. -
This was just okay. I found that it did not thicken enough for us. I thought the chicken broth and garlic gave the sauce a nice flavor, and this was super easy to put together. My 5 year old loved it. I thought it was just okay, probably would not make it again. -
This was delicious! I made this for the hubby and served with breadsticks and champagne! I made a few changes to the recipe: no olives, I doubled the cornstarch, used about 3/4 tsp of herbs, added 2 cubed chicken breasts, and 1/2 lb portabella mushrooms.

This was so fantastic. I had to add more cornstarch, and I wonder if maybe using heavy cream would have made the sauce thicker. But it was still so good. We added chicken to it, and it was excellent!

This was DEEELIISSSH after I tweeked the recipe for our tastes, and read the other reviews. I followed their advise and think it worked....at least for us. I used 6 pretty big cloves of garlic, whipping cream instead of half and half, and little more cornstarch, omitted the olives, and used less herbs (I used basil). I also just used one pan. I just added all of the wet ingredients to the garlic, then threw in the tortellini and tossed to coat. The first time I made this my DH said, "I see only one problem with this.....you didn't make enough!!" Serve with breadsticks to sop up the goodness, or they will be licking their plate!

People love my pizza Swirls. I love all foods. I love to try complicated recipes for fun and I make alot of my own breads.

We now have a smoothie night where we make an assortment of smoothies as a dessert, and on occasion we have had smoothies for dinner but that is a rare occasion. Its kids choice and they have fun on recipezaar because I have dedicated a cookbook just to smoothies.
