I Can鈥檛 Believe I made This Pasta Dish

1 Package of 3 or 4 Cheese sauce


1/2 Package of Pesto


! Package of Marinara sauce


Red wine


Parmesan Cheese





All the above found in the fresh pasta section of the grocery store.





Cook Tortellini according to directions.





Heat together Marinara sauce, Cheese sauce and pesto add some red wine. Simmer for a few minutes.





Once tortellini is cooked drain, place in a serving dish. Pour sauce over pasta, gently toss and top with Parmesan cheese.





Serve with some crusty bread, a crisp green salad and a glass of red wine. Your family or guest won鈥檛 know what hit them.
Tomatoes and Feta Pasta





1 small onion, diced


1 T oil


1 can of diced tomatoes


1 T oregano


8 oz. crumbled feta cheese





Heat oil in a pan to medium low. Add diced onion and cook until transparent. Do not let it brown. Add diced tomatoes including the juice in the can, oregano, and half the crumbled feta. Cook for at least 20 minutes until the tomatoes are turning from bright red to a dull red. Check frequently during the last five minutes to make sure it is not sticking. Stir in the rest of the feta and top your pasta. You can add less oregano, but I like a lot. You can also add shrimp for the last two minutes to make a seafood pasta topping. The feta can be very salty. Don't add any salt until you taste it. I also serve this over rice.
i love this recipe. it's easy and delicious. i hope this helps.
