I adore tortellini. Because pasta + cheese = you can’t go wrong.
I adore it so much that I have to make it not that often. Because I just want a bowl of seconds….and thirds…
For real.
The boys have taken a liking to it as well, so it’s an easy (and fast!) and filling dinner for our family!
This is just the recipe you need to help you survive the cold, chilly months!
This recipe is vegetarian, and is so hearty, filling and delicious!
