Tortellini w/ Red Sauce

Tuesday



the menu:

Grilled chicken
Cheese Tortellini w/ red sauce
French Baguette
Caesar Salad
Sugar Cookies

the instructions:

Grill chicken, slice and add to tortellini.
Cook tortellini according to directions on package.
Heat sauce.
Toss greens with dressing and top with croutons. This dressing is one of Denny's favorites. Usually when I make it it separates, this time it is quite thick--go figure. Your best bet is probably to mix with the lettuce rather than pour it on.
