Absolutley delicious. Perfect summer dish, especially with homegrown herbs.

This recipe was great! I used a 14 oz can of quartered artichockes in water rather than the oil, and omitted the olives. Also added a little asiago to the top... Mmmm!

This was FANTASTIC!!! I added some mozzarella cheese along with the parmesan cheese. I think this would make an excellent cold pasta dish for the summer. Add some cubed cooked chicken and viola, you have a full meal!!

next time I won't add the artichoke juice...it made it too greasy

Use normal artichokes, not marinated next time.

This dish was delicious! I followed the recipe almost to the letter. The only thing I changed was that I used 3 tblsp of butter instead of ½ cup oil to sauté the onions. I had leftovers for lunch the next day, but served them cold. WOW! It was so much better served cold! I am going to be making this for 2 different picnics this month and serve them cold as well.

Fantastic! Bursting with flavor. The only change I made was to add some green peppers in with the onions as I have an abundance of them in my garden. I made this for dinner last night & served with kielbasa. Great combination. I was going to reduce the recipe by half but glad I didn't. We are looking forward to the leftovers!

I made this recipe for my family one weeknight. I cut the recipe in half, because we didn't need 8 servings. Everybody thought that it was excellent. My husband, who doesn't usually like tortellini, had seconds!! I will definitely be cooking this again.

I just tried this recipe for a potluck at work and everyone liked it! However, I'd have to say that some of the dimensions given in the recipe are incorrect. The prep time alone took about 25 min., and so including cooking time.. my total time was about 1 hr 15 min. This was because I had to double the simmer time.. the sauce was still too thin after 12 min. I tried some of the pasta for dinner the night I made it and found it to be too greasy... but for the potluck, since it was refrigerated over night, it wasn't as greasy when I served it. If I was cooking it the night I'd be eating it, I would reduce the artichoke liquid to maybe 2/3 c.
