Notes
Fresh tortellini is located in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, and usually has a few different filling options, any will work.
Don't overcook the tortellini, you want it to be al dente, it will continue to cook a bit more in the sauce.
Add in some leftover chicken or steamed broccoli for a hearty pasta recipe.
