You can use either fresh or frozen tortellini. The cooking time remains the same for either one. This is one terrific recipe I found in a milk calender here a few years back.

We really liked this recipe. It was quick putting it together and my 5 year old daughter really enjoyed helping mix the ingredients. The Broccoli really makes it.

This recipe is excellent. I used evaporated milk and spinach instead of broccoli. It was a hit with my uninvited dinner guests.
