Make-ahead instructions
This recipe comes together very quickly when the tortellini is made ahead of time. I recommend prepare the pasta on Sunday and keep it in the refrigerator for when you need it. Also, the completed recipe can be frozen into portions. Heat in a microwave bowl for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
