Notes

  • Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
  • You can use the refrigerated cheese tortellini instead of frozen. In that case, it will not need to be thawed or brought to room temperature. You can just pop it right in.
  • Note: I just sprinkled a little chopped fresh parsley on top at the end to give it a little color. This is not necessary for flavor. 
  • For a bit more 'kick' - try adding a little bit of red pepper flakes.
