I'm not a huge fan of tortellini, but these nibblers were surprisingly good! The crispy breadcrumb coating really made them.

These were a great way to use up leftover tortellini. I added some extra spices to the breadcrumb coating and they were delicious!

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought marinara sauce and they were still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of tortellini, but these nibblers were delicious! The cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crispy breadcrumb coating was perfect.
