Another great Taste of Home recipe. All my kids have a favorite meal and this dish happens to be my youngest son's. I keep frozen cheese tortellini and ham on hand to make this simple, yet satisfying meal in less than an hour. Add a crisp green salad and ta da! Dinner! Disclaimer: I have always used recipes as a guide and use my instincts and experience to alter or omit ingredients as I cook. Therefore, it has always been a challenge when sharing recipes with others. I doubt I make dishes the same way twice. So, I advise you to use my recipes the same way. Trust your experience and adjust to your personal taste~Robynne
