Tortellini with Salmon-Ricotta Sauce image

I like to serve this with a colorful vegetable, such as a tomato salad or peas and carrots. It's equally good with canned salmon or tuna, too. -Beth Dauenhauer of Pueblo, Colorado

I didn't have any ricotta cheese, so I substituted it with cream cheese. It turned out pretty well.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The tortellini was a bit overcooked. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I used frozen tortellini and it worked just fine. I also added some chopped spinach to the sauce for an extra boost of nutrients.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. The ricotta sauce mellowed out the salmon flavor, making it more palatable for me.
