(My family loved this recipe! I did add a little extra marinara sauce and I used regular diced tomatoes instead of the ones with italian seasoning. Greg and Reagan thought this was the best meal ever. Even Skyler, my eight month old, ate it. I give this recipe 4 stars.)

    I made this last night, but with herb chicken tortellini instead of cheese ones, so then I didn’t add the hamburger or sausage. It was really good, and I liked the simplicity of it. Thanks!

    This was so good! We loved it. I just used a jar of Prego instead of refrigerated sauce. I also got some frozen tortellinis instead of the fresh ones. They worked well in this dish.
