There are lots of different things you can do with this to make it your own, so feel free to experiment! Here are the ingredients:
2 bags of frozen cheese tortellini
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (I love the Ragu Sauteed Onion and Garlic)
1 jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce (I always use Bertolli for this one)
handful of fresh parsley (just tear some off and add to taste)
2 garlic cloves
freshly ground salt and pepper
mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (optional)
As you can see above there are a lot of places you can substitute whatever your family likes best or whatever you have on hand. If you make your own sauces then just use equal parts of each type of sauce. If you don't have fresh parsley, use dried. If you're not a big "top it with cheese" fan, then don't! One thing I definitely do recommend is using frozen tortellini. It's much better than what you get in the refrigerated section and almost always cheaper. I have never used the dried but for some reason that just weirds me out. If you make your own, well, then what are you doing reading a blog about cooking?! This recipe makes a large 13x9 pan of tortellini, but I often cut it in half for our family (by only using one bag of tortellini) and freeze the other half of the sauce for the next time I make it.
Here's what I do:
Boil the tortellini, drain and set aside

I'm bookmarking this one too! Sounds like what I get at Johnny Carino's (Italian place). Can't wait to try it!
That's exactly where the inspiration came from!
Looks great!
I think my picky 7 year old would love this! Thanks!
I'm really excited to try this! I love this one at Carino's too. :)
