Cheesy Italian Tortellini

I made this nearly as written, I subbed cooked frozen tortellini for fresh/refrigerated and omitted the mushrooms. I also doubled the recipe. I ended up with an uneven ratio of sauce to pasta as written. After taking my pic I had my daughter go to the store and buy another bag of frozen tortellini (19oz) and it was the perfect ratio. Flavor-wise this recipe is heavily dependent on the sauce you use and could use some tweaks to up the flavor. Finally, the cheese doesn't need doubling when the recipe is doubled and we would skip the cheddar in the future for something like parmesan. My family rated this a 3.5-4.5.

Good!! I cut out the sausage and just used very lean ground beef. I also didn't use my crockpot but made the sauce on the stove and added the torts. Yummy! Oh! And my picky 2 yr old even ate them!

Turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, fresh tomatoes instead of canned, and fresh sliced white mushrooms. I also added chopped Italian parsley, ground fennel seed, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped garlic.

So far, it's delicious. Only thing I'll add next time is a couple cloves of garlic.
