Answer 4

I mix tortellini with broccoli florets or chopped broccoli, pepperoni slices and good seasons package dressing. (Gourmet Caesar)

If I happen to have cheese in the refrigerator, I also add that too. Nothing else, and my husband LOVES iT!

Answer 5

www.allrecipes.com and there will be lots of recipes there. Easy recipes that people like us have come up with. Nothing like the Southern Living or Martha Stewart recipes. I have 4 kids and I love that site for things that they will like and that won't take me all day to fix.

Answer 6

I would just toss in all together in a light italian dressing or vinagrette. Sounds delicious!
