So here is the recipe:
| 1 | package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini( I used Frozen Pay close attention to the size my pkg was 20 ozs I used half) |

- Cook and drain tortellini as directed on package, using 3-quart saucepan. Wipe out saucepan with paper towel; wipe dry with paper towel.

Look-gorgeous and bright
Difficulty-Easy good for a beginner cook easy to read and follow. I would prep you veg. beforehand this cuts down on time
Opinion-I thought this recipe was amazing the flavors melded very well. It tasted like a fresh tomato sauce and the vegetables and seasoning added a ton of depth. I think this would be even better if you had a ton of garden fresh vegetables (farmers markets are coming soon). My kids and Husband all loved it! This recipe was easy and will definitely be a regular in our household
