Let's Dish
I always keep a few packages of fresh tortellini in my freezer for quick weeknight meals, and this is one of my favorite ways to prepare it.  You can use frozen tortellini too, but you'd have to boil it first, leaving it slightly undercooked.  This dish is easy to adapt by adding different vegetables (peppers and peas are also good) and it's even good with ravioli or just regular pasta.  This is a dish my whole family loves.
