The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

We really enjoy this recipe. It's a lifesaver on busy days since I can put the sauce ingredients in the crock before I go to work and don't have to worry about them overcooking. I just add the tortellini when I get home and we're ready to eat by the time everyone get settled in. And it always turns out delicious. Sometimes I omit the meat in the sauce and use sausage filled tortellini.

My husband and I really like this dish. We found it makes enough sauce for twice the pasta and can freeze half for another night. Did add 1 tbs oregano and basil for a more italian flavor.
Please do you have a recipe for gluten free tortellini, my grand daughters faverite dish but can't eat wheat flour. IPM
If you use the dry tortellini by Barilla, you can add everything at the beginning, let cook for 5-6 hrs. and everything is ready at the same time. Just a thought.
