Easy Three Cheese Tortellini Recipe

Today is World Pasta Day and I’ve made a delicious and easy to make pasta dish to share with you. I know dinner time can be a crazy time of day.

Asking what’s for dinner around our house is akin to swearing. I hate trying to come up with new dinner ideas.

I know there are a lot of reasons for feeling the challenge of the daily dinner grind. Work, chores, errands, after-school activities and kid’s homework all need to be juggled in addition to making a nightly meal.

It’s exhausting.

Having access to great resources can help.

I’m always flipping through magazines, checking out Pinterest and browsing food blogs trying to find new recipes.

I get tired of making the same old thing time and time again so I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try.

Pasta is a favorite at our house so I was thrilled to receive a copy of the Barilla Modern Family Cookbook.

It includes tasty recipes that go from stove to table in a short period of time.

Barilla has a lot of great pasta options, which is one of the reasons that we always buy this brand.

However, I had never tried the cheese tortellini and was really looking forward to giving it a try.

The recipe in the book is for Barilla Three Cheese Tortellini in Sage Brown Butter Sauce. However, Em wasn’t too thrilled with trying it this way and I really wanted to try the tortellini so we compromised and I added marinara sauce instead of brown butter sage.

Prepare tortellini according to package directions. When tortellini is done add a jar of pasta sauce and heat through until hot. Pour into a serving dish and top with ricotta and parmesan cheeses. Ta-da! Dinner is done.

It was so good and it was made and on the table in less than 30 minutes. Add a salad and you have a well-balanced meal. A perfect meal for busy moms and dads!
