    As others have mentioned, the portion size is tiny - I think it would make me want more...better make a huge salad with it :) - 3/12/09

    This is just my kind of pasta recipe! I sometimes like to add sliced black olives or/and artichoke hearts (canned) Mmmmh... QUE BUONO!!! Thanks for sharing! :-)

    BETHPROVERBS31 - I believe the tomato is included in VEGETABLES that have to be tossed with drained pasta - #3 in instructions... LOL

    Tortellini is one of my favorites and it worked great to add the veggies. Is hard to keep portion size small and is a bit high in calories so I wont make often but its a great way to make a pasta dish with more health value - 11/7/07

    This is a great recipe. I made it for my toddlers and my 17 year old. We all loved it! I modified using some black olives to top and less cheese. But I modify almost every recipe and it's a little different everytime I cook. Thanks so much for the recipe! - 8/17/10

    Delicious - We use frozen tortellini (only takes about 3 min to cook) and a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh if it is winter. Everyone loves it. I have made this many times and it is one of our family favorites. For the non vegetarian family members, I have turkey italian sausage on the side. - 6/18/10

    There was not much pasta but the vegetables made up for that. I could not find dried tortellini with cheese so maybe I did not have the proper amount. It was still very good. - 3/14/10

    Amazing!! I used fresh spinach cheese tortellini and made a little fresh tomato sauce to put over just to make it a little more juicy. I cut the recipe back slightly and had 2 generous portions for me and my husband. Definitely make again! - 1/8/10
