Hi there! Okay, so last week was my husband’s birthday. I asked him where do you want to eat? He says “Honey, we are in lockdown. We’re not going anywhere.” I replied, “I know. That’s why I’m gonna bring the restaurant here.” We had a good laugh and I thought of this recipe because it was the first food we ate together. Aww! Yeah, this dish will always have a special place in our hearts and stomach! I know that once you tasted this, it will also have one in yours. It’s a blessing to have someone in your life that loves you unconditionally. The best way to appreciate it is to love them back and fill their stomach with good food! Enjoy this recipe. Have a wonderful day!

1-2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of grated or shredded parmesan
seasoning to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes or see the directions on the package. Drain water and set aside first.

5. Toss in the cooked tortellini into the sauce. Slowly pour the sauce into your casserole dish and top with the parmesan and shredded mozzarella.
