Erin, is there any chance you could add a “printer-friendly” option to your recipes? I know I don’t comment very often but I love what you do and use your recipes all the time! This week’s menu is a real keeper – my family will be very happy!

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, as I love tortellini! However, I found the white sauce to be quite bland and it wouldn’t thicken properly. I added some cornstarch to the sauce to thicken, and added some grated parmesan cheese, and still found it to be very bland.

Here is an alfredo sauce recipe that is simple, and tastes really good:

@Marie, Yes...just use butter and no bacon grease! White sauce is basically butter, flour, milk and some salt/pepper. The bacon grease just gives it some flavor!

I hate bacon, any other way I can make the white sauce?
This just looks sooo good!

Mm. We had some spinach/cheese tortellini the other day with a little red sauce. We love asparagus though, and are always interested in new ways to make it, I’m bookmarking this one! And, am very happy I found this site!

This IS good!! I didn’t have tortellini, but used a box of Rotini instead (I already had it and figured “pasta is pasta” LOL)… yours looks “soupier”, so I think that the box of rotini might’ve been more pasta than a box of tortellini. It was still good! Daniel had 2nds and 3rds (not big servings either time though), and kept saying “this stuff is good”. Thanks for the idea!!!
