Followed the basic idea of this recipe, with a few modifications to suit what I had on hand. I had refrigerated tortellini that needed to be used. Made the sauce according to the recipe, except I replaced the dried basil & parsley (I don't think they add much flavor) with a heaping spoonful of my homemade pesto sauce. Because of the Parmesan in the pesto, I didn't sprinkle any over the top. This was lucky because I had run out :( We all loved this recipe - I even found myself eating it cold from the refrigerator the following day. 2nd review: I had made another recipe with shrimp. leeks & linguine for which the sauce was not enough. I liked this sauce better, and made up a recipe. It improved the other dish remarkably!
