Quick tortellini

Quick tortellini

This tortellini dish was a try out but became popular on BlueSky so I spent time to perfect it. It’s now a firm favourite in our house. I have also used plantbased chorizo sausages but you can use tofu instead. It’s added for protein and the chorizo gives a little extra spice.
