This was SO good! Both my hubby an 18 month old daughter loved it! I followed the sauce recipe exactly, and only made 2 variations to the recipe as a whole... I tossed in 2 handfuls of broccoli florets into the tortellini during the last 2 minutes of cooking and I used a scoop of garlic butter (yum!). I also saved myself some dishes by making it all in one pot by draining the tortellini and then tossing it back into the same pot and tossing the butter into it, then following the rest of the steps. -
I've made this recipe a kazillion times. All the ingredients are basic, inexspensive and easy to get. You can make it for 2 people or 20. Very easy to make and you can get creative with it. I put shrimp or sometimes chicken in it, I've also put artichokes. Everyone loves it and there are never any leftovers.
