Awesome and so, so easy! I used spinach/cheese tortellini then followed directions exactly. I served it at a dinner for 18 people on vacation together at a lake house so doubled the recipe and also made a large lasagna. There were some leftovers that were greatly appreciated for lunch the next day. It reheated well and the sauce didn't break apart like sometimes happens with alfredo. Thank you so much for a recipe we will enjoy again and again!
