Very simple to prepare, we really enjoyed this. I kept it vegetarian by using spinach tortellini and a simple homemade tomato sauce, to which I added a touch of garlic, sliced mushrooms, and some chopped peppadews for a little spice :) I had to restrain myself from eating it ALL, so my husband will still get a nice lunch today :) Thank you for sharing, Timothy, excellent recipe!
