I love tortellini and love lasagna. Two great tastes.
I agree. The tortellini and lasagna go together so well!
that stringy cheese!! i’d probably spend the time saved by making this being a (couch) potato, reading, or making dessert. or some combo of the three.
That cheese is awesome! That sounds like an excellent way to spend your time!
Looking forward to having this for dinner tonight! I’ll have time to make an apple pie!
You will love it! It is one of our go-to family favorite weeknight meals!
Made this for dinner tonite. Family loved it. It was easy to prepare. I had to buy frozen cheese tortellini so I boiled it for a few minutes and then added it to sauce mixture
I’m so glad you liked it, and that is a good tip about using frozen tortellini. Be sure to tell your friends out this recipe!
