Tortellini Toss

Quick Cooking - try a FREE ISSUE today!

Basil, marjoram and Parmesan cheese nicely season this satisfying main dish from Polly Lynam of Mequon, Wisconsin. "I saute the meat while the pasta is cooking, so it takes just minutes to make," she says. "My family likes it with tender strips of pork, but chicken is an easy alternative."

SERVINGS: 6

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Stovetop - One-Dish

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin or boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3-inch strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
