Pasta is such great meal. Very versatile and easy to make. We often make pasta in a pinch or as a planned meal. This version is so easy to make and the result is great. Try it out. It only takes about 20min.
For the pasta I used fresh tortelloni. But you can actually use any kind. Usually 1/2 lb is enough for two people, but if you don’t have a salad you might want to use more. This is the kind I used for this meal.
