66 Reviews of Tortellini and Spinach Bake

From: dukeswalker

On Apr 9, 2005

Oh - This was awesome! I converted this to US and then did the following: used a "family size" pkg. of refrigerated 3 cheese totellini, used 2 14.5 oz. cans of chopped tomatoes, drained, (but next time I'll only drain one), used a 4 oz. pkg of crumbled feta cheese, a 16 oz. container of light sour cream, 1 1/8 cups of 1% milk (for the whipping cream), for the "cheese" I used grated parmesean - VERY GOOD!! **UPDATE** I had leftovers from the 1st batch and figured I would try and freeze it instead of pitching it...It froze FABULOUS - which is wonderful because this makes a TON!

    I wanted to make this for company next week and decided because I had to switch the measurements to us I would make it ahead to avoid any problems. I had no problems, I loved the taste and so did my family. The only thing I would change is instead of pouring the sauce on top and leaving it there I would mix it in and then top the casserole with additonal grated cheese. With just putting the sauce on top and leaving it there it does not look very appetizing when it comes out. I used a 9x13 pan, anything smaller it would not fit. I was not sure what type of grated cheese to use so I went with freshly grated parmeasan. The blended tastes were wonderul and I can't wait to make this again next weekend for my company.

    Made this for a dinner party. I wanted something different from potatoes to go with chicken. This was perfect and everyone said it was definately 5 stars. I used the cheese tortellini and I did mix the sauce in. Thanks for a great recipe Sylvie.

    Very good! I liked the leftovers even more than the original....I first poured the sauce on top, but then took it out of the oven and mixed it all in when I saw that it wasn't sinking in on its own. So I would recommend mixing it in from the beginning.

    You know that look and sound Homer Simpson makes when thinking about doughnuts or beer? That is exactly what I looked and sounded like when trying my first bite of this! (Except I have hair.) This is excellent. I used a 14oz can of diced tomatoes with Italian herbs instead of the fresh tomatoes, and it was out of this world! I'm taking this to my next potluck!

    Last night we had a dinner party, the friends we invited over were vegetarians and this recipe saved me. Everybody loved it! I mixed everything together and before putting it in the oven tried a bite. It was FANTASTIC! I knew if it tasted good cold, there was no way heating it would ruin the taste. I made a little extra pasta and am glad I did, everybody had seconds. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Oh yea, I added 1/2 of a (cold) diced tomato to the finished product to add a little contrast.

    this is beyond scrumptious. I used 2 cans diced tomatoes, light sour cream, 2% shredded cheese and evaporated milk for the heavy whipping cream. wonderful dish!!! rich and gooey, a definite keeper.

    This was very, very good. I don't think I would add as much feta cheese next time because my family isn't a big fan. I put 2 tsp of salt and pepper and it was just the right amount. I would highly recommend this for a brunch or dinner. We served it for dinner with french bread. It is an inexpensive, quick way to get dinner on the table that will please everyone.

    I just made this and it is great. I mixed everything together and then topped with a bit more cheese. For the shredded cheese I used up some bits I had in the fridge: edam, double gloucester (Abbeydale), and a mexican melting cheese. Because I'm in the U.S. the conversion was a bit off of what is available but I just rounded everything off to the closest I could find and it worked great.

    What a delicious dish. It's a real crowd pleaser as well. I served it to my Thursday night group and it was devoured even by the kids! I will definately make this one again. Thanks for posting it.
