Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

This is by far one of the easiest, best tasting, pasta dishes I have ever tried. I made the recipe exact and it was awesome. Everyone thought I had ordered out for Italian. Next time I will make extra.

I had trouble finding tortellini, so I used rotini noodles and it turned out great.

Perfect! Even my 7 year old loved it. I used fire-roasted tomatoes and it was very flavorful!

Absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it! And it was so EASY to make! It does looks and taste like something pricey at olive garden but way thrifty! And we didn't miss any meat in this meal! Great for Meatless Mondays!

I was not disappointed. It lived up to all the reviews it got. This was Delicious with a Capital D! It was quick and easy to make but looks like you spent all day on it. It is sure to impress any friends and/or family. Can't wait to eat leftovers tomorrow.
