I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! I loved the combination of the tomato sauce, basil, and tortellini.

I thought this dish was just okay. The tomato sauce was a bit bland and the tortellini was a little overcooked.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much red pepper flakes. Next time I'll use less.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomato sauce. I had some leftover from a previous meal, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I'm not usually a fan of tortellini, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of the spicy tomato sauce and the creamy cheese filling was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
