As you can guess, this isn’t tortellini in the photo of this dish…I had frozen ravioli on hand instead, and it was just as good or better. I also didn’t have the frozen vegetable mix called for in the dish; I used what I had in the freezer; broccoli and garden red peppers. I did follow the method and amounts, however, and this is truly a tasty, quick meal. It’s really a simple, real Alfredo, and much, much better than anything you can buy in a jar full of preservatives. My husband’s comment “Now this looks healthy!”
