I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was a total flop. The tortellini was mushy and the filling was tasteless.

This recipe was a disaster! The tortellini didn't cook evenly and the filling was runny.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The tortellini was cooked well, but the filling was a bit dry.

The crab cheese tortellini was good, but I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some extra herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use different types of crab, cheese, and even tortellini. I've even added some chopped spinach to the filling for a little extra flavor.
