SAUSAGE TORTELLINI ALFREDO
A wonderful combination of rich alfredo sauce and three cheese tortellini -with veggies and Italian sausage to make matters worse (or better!). This is not for the faint of heart for calories, but that's why they invented the "just a garden salad for me" lunch! :) This recipe looks fancy enough for company but uses pre-made sauces and pasta for convenience. I have used Buitoni refrigerated pasta and sauce as well as those listed in the recipe. Using homemade versions could only make it tastier!

TORTELLINI SAUSAGE ALFREDO
Nice fast meal to fix for dinner. It is from a Taste of Homes magazine. I did use frozen tortellini, left out the green pepper (DH does not like them) and use half-half cream.
