Look for dried tortellini in the pasta section.  I use Barilla varieties...a choice of at least 4...used to be cheese, spinach, mushroom were the ones I used most often.  They are in a blue bag.  Each bag has 4 servings I think.  Follow directions, I drain mine into a large strainer and then dunk strainer and all into ice water to cool.

I haven't tried this recipe but do use fresh and dry tortellini all the time. We live in Alaska and get ours at Costco. Safeway and Kroger also have it both types. Hint--if you by fresh from Costco and its more then you need--just divide the package in into usable amounts and freeze. Then you always have some on hand for potlucks, etc. '

Broccoli is DISGUSTING! I use marinated mushrooms, black olives, roasted red peppers, italian dressing, and NO SALT in mine and it is fantastic! Not everyone likes broccoli; my family wouldn't eat this!

 Hi, Thanks for the tips. No one around here has heard of it!!! This is not a big Italian area (W.V..) Is the website name you mentioned a manufacturer of the tortellini?

Confused Hey there Toupee...quick questions for you. Where about are you?? Also, did you ask the grocery manager if they carry tortellini and if so to please help you locate it. It is usually in the frozen section near the ravioli, or dried in the pasta aisle or in the refrigerated section as well.Gee, life without tortellini...not in an Italian household.Good Luck and please let us know how you did in finding it. Oh, how about contacting Ronzoni on their website? They can tell you what stores carry it!

You can purchase tortellini in a box or bag at Wal-Mart or Kroger stores. You can get four cheese or mixed colors. Cook as directed, drain with cold water and mix as above. This is what I use all the time. My family loves it! I also use Italian Dressing instead of the red vinegarette. Taterbughanes

Have you checked in the refrigerated food section around the cheeses, meats, etc? That is where I find it.

 Thank you. I have looked in the noodle aisle and also in the frozen section by ravioli in several stores and no luck..... Maybe it is a regional thing.????

I like to use the frozen tortellini.  It's located with the ravioli.
