  2. Hi Diane, this is a recipe I can do tonight. I have to find the Alfredo Sauce, I don’t know if we have them here in England or if I can use an alternative. Thank you for this recipe. Have a wonderful weekend!

  6. As a kid, I used to help my grandfather make the tortellini by hand. Cutting and rolling, those were great days. Your recipe looks typically fantastic. Just the right mix of ingredients.

      • I’d like to get some – we used to get them before in the refrigerated section of the store, but now they have the refrigerated section in the middle of the pasta and pasta sauces aisle.

      • Don’t you hate when the change the store around. Sam’s Club does that and it is a huge store. You have to look everywhere and it makes me crazy. Lol

      • Yes I do – I shopped at a small store named Farmer Jacks for many years. It was the size of a regular Kroger. They closed suddenly in 2006 and I started going to Meijer which is huge like a Walmart. It was before I began my walking regimen and I’d go on a weekend, spending hours looking for a few items, going from one side of the store to the other. Meijer remodeled their store from May to November last year. By the time I get back there (last I was there was in November), I’ll never remember where things are.

  18. Mm-mm-mm, what a tasty meal this has to be. I like anything with peas and cheese. I’m sure this is a great meal. Aren’t you wonderful in the kitchen, Diane! The pictorial illustrations make it even more appealing. I love it. ❤

  19. Nice and easy to make. My grandkids love pasta, so this would be a great dinner the next time grandma is babysitting. Saving this one. Thanks, Diane.
