easy 5 ingredient - tortellini bake
This 3 cheese tortellini makes a delicious dish without the chicken. I just happened to have one chicken breast leftover from the previous night’s dinner and wanted to use it; besides, I’m never quite sure how many are going to end up at my dinner table on any given night. I’m sure you could use up most any leftovers in this, as well as, change up the sauce from marinara to Alfredo.
