YUM! I used dry tortelini as my store did not carry the frozen! I also used baby tomatoes, zuchini and squash, red onion, and I topped with ramano cheese since its what I had on hand. I added italian turkey sausage to this as well, as my hubby likes his meat. This recipe was VERY Good. I will make it again for sure. I think adding some fresh baby spinach, would be fantastic and fresh garlic couldn't hurt either! I did not find it all the frugal, though. The noodles were almost 3 dollars a bag, and I had to buy 2 packages to feed all 6 of us, then of course adding meat bumped it up. I bet it would be good with chicken added, and less expensive that way too! thank you for a great recipe that we all enjoyed.

I needed a quick easy dinner so I tried this as I had all the ingredients on hand (unusual??) I used less olive oil, added garlic and padana cheese. Great veggie dinner. Thanks Laura

Made as directed except I added garlic (as I always do). My fiance with a wrinkled nose asked what I was making as he's not big on veggies. However, he devoured his plate - piled high with zucchini and tomatoes till he was stuffed! That's a good sign right there! This will be a regular around the house! Thanks!

I make this all the time and love it. I use a bit less olive oil and usually add green peppers and a bit of garlic, too. Another great addition (but not on the frugal side), is adding some shrimp. Mmmm. I have also combined the sauteed veggies with whole wheat fettuccini, instead of the tortellini. By late summer, my garden is producing all of the veggies which makes it an even less expensive meal for me.
