A wonderful combination of rich alfredo sauce and three cheese tortellini -with veggies and Italian sausage to make matters worse (or better!). This is not for the faint of heart for calories, but that's why they invented the "just a garden salad for me" lunch! This recipe looks fancy enough for company but uses pre-made sauces and pasta for convenience. I have used Buitoni refrigerated pasta and sauce as well as those listed in the recipe. Using homemade versions could only make it tastier!

This was very good and very easy. I can't wait to make it this summer and add fresh veggies from the garden.

This made a quick and easy meal served with a green salad and bread. I added a 10oz box of frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) and used a red pepper instead of the green. I also chopped the mushrooms rather than slicing. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring "08 Pick A Chef.
