  4. Dboud REVIEW:

    I made this for a weekend away and it was a huge hit! I blanched some broccoli and threw it in the casserole as well to make it a complete meal in one pan. Will absolutely make this again!

  5. Wendy O REVIEW:

    Will definitely make this again! I only had 4 oz of Monterey Jack so mixed with Cheddar and it was still awesome! I also breaded my chicken w/ flour, italian bread crumbs, 7 grain mix and Flaxseed to try and make it a bit healthier. Served it with brocolli! My kids even ate it!

  7. jensenly REVIEW:

    I made this for friends exactly as written and for my daughter omitting the chicken, as she is a non-meat eater. Both raved about this dish and it was an interesting departure from the "normal" way of eating tortellini. Excellent and I will ba making again this weekend!
