What's for dinner" Spring chicken tortellini bake
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home
Baked pasta is my favorite kind of dinner. Any kind of baked pasta. Ziti, lasagna, penne...red sauce, white sauce, green sauce (for real!)...meat, vegetarian, no matter. Throw some cheese and sauce on any kind of pasta and I'm in mom heaven. (You know mom heaven, right" It's where we get to eat a full meal, a glass of wine and a giant piece of cake with no one bothering us.)
Nirvana.
Anyhoo, since that won't happen for another decade (for me), you can settle for what I did last night. I made this amazing baked tortellini around 5pm. I fed the kids and then drove carpool for soccer and church, stopped to buy diapers, and took my little guy to a gymnastics class. Once everyone got home, I was the bath and shower Nazi, homework enforcer and piano practice coach. At 9:40pm I ate this tortellini straight from the pan, COLD. And it was so freakin' good. Just to make sure I wasn't delusional with hunger, I ate it again for lunch today -- this time heated up -- and I can indeed confirm it is the bomb. One pan...complete meal. It's got protein, starch, veggies and dairy. Can I get an Amen"
