Baked Tortellini

Good, but needs a bit more I added peas and grated carrots, plus chopped garlic and Parmesan cheese. I also added grilled chicken breasts, cut up to provide meat to the meal. My family liked it this way, but next time I may try the Gruyer cheese since others seem to think that would be a stronger cheese. Also, it isn't easy to find lo-fat items in a small town, so my final calorie and fat count was probably higher. Pros: Didn't take too long; could fix ahead, refrigerate, and then bake; easy to change to a main dish; Cons: Sauce is too bland by itself

Bland dish, won't likely make again. I was in the mood to try a new recipe and use one of the casserole dishes that have remained in the box on top of my refrigerator since last Christmas, so this seemed like a good option. The prep wasn't bad--it took me about 25 mins from the moment I started prepping to the time that I had it in the oven and all of my ingredients put away. The finished product wasn't completely satisfactory though. As other have said, this recipe is bland. I added a tbsp of butter to the casserole while it baked, but otherwise I prepared it as per the directions. The sauce is just missing something, perhaps spicing it up might help. Also, I feel like the recipe calls for too many bread crumbs. I might reduce the bread crumbs by about 3 or 4 tbsps if I were to make it again. I don't plan to make it again, however. It wasn't very good. It wasn't gross, it just wasn't good. Pros: Easy to make, doesn't take long. Cons: Bland.

Good Base This is a pretty basic cheese sauce that can be modified to suit an individual's taste. I stuck to the recipe so that I could see what it tasted like. I love fontina but as many stated, it's just not a big cheese to stand out in this kind of a dish. I actually added the same amount of a parmesan to give it a kick. I will use gruyere next time. The dish is pretty much an updated macaroni and cheese dish, using tortellini, or in my case, small ravioli. I followed the advice of previous commenters and doubled the recipe EXCEPT for the sauce, which I reduced by half a cup and will reduce by a half more cup. So next time, I'll use 3 1/2 cups of milk...but that's just based on my own taste and what I want in consistency for the sauce. YMMV. Pros: Kid-friendly, flexible Cons: As is, it's pretty bland

Amazing comfort foodThis was delicious! Will definitely try with the added spinach next time. The consistency was wonderfully creamy, the flavor was excellent. The only issue was that with 4 boys, this dish didn't quite make enough to have as a main dish. Maybe it would be good as a side dish or for when not everyone will be home. But this is definitely getting added to the recipe box!Pros: Not difficult and very tastyCons: Didn't make enough to feed my fam of 5 (4 boys)

Delicious comfort food... and easy!I loved this recipe! I had to cook it a lot longer and the sauce was a little watery but it eventually thickened up into a nice sauce. My 2 girls loved it as well. Definitely a keeper!Pros: Easy, kid's love it, few ingredientsCons: Wasn't near as good reheated.

Adding the spinach is a great idea. It was delicious.
