Tortellini Toss
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."
Ingredients
- 1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 small onion, chopped

Fantastic recipe! I prepared a little differently (sauteed all the veggies together separately, then the meat by itself, then added them all together at the end to warm up), used a couple pats of butter together with some olive oil to saute the veggies which in my case were some fresh bell pepper, carrots, celery, along with the onion. This is quite a versatile recipe which I just love. And so easy to throw together. I can count on one hand the number of times I've prepared tortellini in my life, but I happened to have some on hand in the freezer that I wanted to use up and now I won't hesitate to make this my "go to" recipe. It is also company-friendly, big time! Hubby and I have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow night. Thank you. :-)
Absolutely fabulous! We used fresh sugar snap peas and omitted the parm cheese (by accident) and it was so incredibly tasty!
Delicious! I used frozen cut green beans, omitted the onion & Parmesan cheese, & used regular pepper instead of lemon pepper. So good.
Great dish - quick and easy to make! My family loved it and we will definitely have it again.
