A friend remarked about a similar baked tortellini dish at a restaurant, so I wanted to try re-creating it for her at home. My stovetop version makes it weeknight easy. -Cynthia Gerken, Naples, Florida

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe was a disaster. The sauce never thickened and the tortellini was hard.

This was the worst tortellini dish I've ever had. The sauce was watery and the tortellini was mushy.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

The tortellini was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a little extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick.
