Cheese Tortellini with Texas Toast

Day 65

Yayyyy, pasta! I'm almost always in the mood for noodles. And cheese...

Cheese Tortellini with Texas Toast

Marinara

I bought a jar of Spinach & Cheese Classico sauce for this and Laura added the following embellishments to it:

• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1 "ice cube" of basil & olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic

Frozen Basil

As mentioned above, we have basil and olive oil frozen from the summer/fall harvest. Basically, each cube contains about 2 tbsp of chopped basil and 1 tbsp olive oil. Thought I should explain that one.

Cheese Tortellini

Even before we stopped eating meat, we both preferred cheese tortellini to the meat-based ones. Tonight we had Compliments cheese tortellini. A small package serves at least 4, because it's filling.

Serve It Up!

We served it with grated parm and sautéed mushrooms on top and Texas toast on the side. Another fairly quick meal.

Me: 7. The sauce was good, but could have used a sprinkle of BS (brown sugar) in it.
Laura: 5. It was ok. Not great sauce...but-it was easy...
