Cheesy Baked Tortellini With Salmon

"A dish with a helpful shortcut, and easy too! Serve this yummy dish with a fresh green salad and some crunchy bread to scoop up the "homemade" sauce. The fish, pasta and sauce all finished at the same time and I literally spent 30 minutes from start to finish to make this meal as the prep time overlaps with the cooking time."

  1. Oh yeah, 5 stars all the way. Everyone in my family loved this dish. At first, I was skeptical that there was enough green onion to make a difference, but boy even that little bit made a difference. But I didn't really taste any of the dill, so I don't know if it contributed much flavor to the dish, at least not that I noticed. So I wouldn't worry if I were out of fresh dill, because I think it would be just fine without it. I used 4 ounces of salmon fillet as the recipe specifies, but I also added a little bit of smoked salmon, too. Boy, was that a great addition. But even without the smoked salmon, it was positively delicious. I will definitely make this dish again, and probably often.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
