Perfect for a weeknight dinner! Frozen tortellini is always in our freezer and if you read my blog regularly, you know that I have several recipes using tortellini. It’s easy, versatile, and cheap! Not to mention, a complete husband/kid pleaser. Easy enough for an 18 month old to pick up and eat himself (and subsequently throw on the floor, but we won’t go there). This Creamy Tomato Tortellini Skillet is such an easy twist on regular tortellini with spaghetti sauce with the added benefit of sneaking in some veggies. They’ll never know, I swear!

Alicia says February 7, 2013 at 2:52 am Believe it or not, I've never had a tortellini! I know, hard to believe right? Being Hispanic I grew up with lots of Mexican dishes but never Italian. This recipe looks wonderful! I know my son would like it so I'm going to pin it and try it out for his birthday in August. Your photos are great! Reply
