Tortellini Casserole image

You can use either fresh or frozen tortellini. The cooking time remains the same for either one. This is one terrific recipe I found in a milk calender here a few years back.

This casserole was a disaster! The tortellini was mushy and the sauce was too watery.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better.
