Tortellini Pasta Bake...It's All About the Sauce!

Shortly after we moved into our new (new to us!) house I was looking for something different to make, because I was sick of the norm.  I've made tortellini with different pasta sauces in the past, but none of them were anything to brag about.  However, this time I stumbled across something amazing, and I'm pretty sure it was the sauce and the seasonings I added!  I made it again last week, and we had forgotten how yummy it truly is!  It is a dinner I would invite our friends over for, that good and not to mention super easy! 

You can tell I'm a sucker for easy meals!


Ingredients: Tortellini, Vodka Sauce, Garlic, Garlic Salt,
Salt, Pepper, Italian Seasoning, Minced Onion,
