Beef & Tortellini Marinara with Green Beans image

This hearty Italian pasta stew is a tradition with my family. It's great served with crusty Italian bread to dip in the sauce and with a nice big green salad. I like to have a glass of red wine with this meal-in-one.-Joyce Frey, Jacksville, Kansas

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me.

This was a waste of time and ingredients. The sauce was watery and the tortellini were mushy.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I had to make a few substitutions (I used ground turkey instead of beef and I didn't have any green beans), but the dish still turned out great.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a jarred marinara sauce. Next time I'll try making my own sauce.
