after watching giada make this recipe on television, i decided i wanted to try it. i got the recipe from the food network and realized that there was a "mistake" - watching giada i knew that she had topped the tortellini with smoked gouda, not the mozzerella noted in the recipe. using smoked gouda and not the mozzerella is what makes the difference in this recipe. also, i made the "casserole" in the morning. i recommend that if you do this, you add an extra 15-20 minutes to the cooking time.

My husband and I both voted this as the best pasta we have eater either at home or at a restaurant. I can't wait to eat the leftovers and also know that when I go to a potluck dinner this is the dish I plan to take. While my store of choice did not have smoke mozzarella, I used mozzarella and smoked provolone and it was still delicious.

This was DELICIOUS! My husband and I couldn't eat it fast enough. I will say that the marscapone cheese is hard to find and slightly pricey, but totally worth it. We also added a little herb goat cheese to the mixure. We couldn't find smoked mozzerella, so we just used regular mozzerella and it was fine. Rich and delicious!

This was a great dish. I have never had smoked mozzarella before, but it is great! I added Italian style sausage in with the dish (cooked on stove before adding. I believe this added a great element of meat and a different taste. Go for the multi-colored tortellini. I think it makes the dish look better.

The smoked mozzarella and the mascarpone in the sauce make this dish. You have to like smoked cheese to enjoy the dish. It's my daughter's absolute favorite baked pasta.

This seemed like the perfect, simple dish that had more flair than other casseroles. Frankly, the smoked mozzeralla and thyme were too overwhelming. The fact that I had to go to multiple stores to find the item that ultimately hurt the dish didn't help matters. I might try this again, but with regular mozzeralla and less or no thyme. The pancetta idea someone mentioned might be the perfect addition.

I used fresh pasta that I cooked for about 2 min and added about a quarter pound rough chopped and sauteed pancetta and 2 cloves of garlic. I used smoked fresh mozzarella and it was amazing! After 30 min baking covered, I uncovered it for about 6-7 min to brown. Very good!

The smoked cheese was rather expensive and very overwhelming. It dominated the dish completely.

I JUST HAD MY GIRLFRIENDS OVER FOR DINNER AND MADE THIS AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL HIT!! I SUBSTITUTED RAVIOLI ON ACCIDENT AND THAT WORKED WELL TOO. I SERVED FRESH FRENCH BREAD WITH THE MEAL - IT WAS A GREAT COMPLIMENT - CRUSTY CRUST WITH THE FLUFFY INSIDE TO HELP ABSORB ANY SAUCE LEFT ON THE PLATE.

Love this recipe! My son requested this tonite for his "back to school" dinner because he loves it so much! Giada, we'll be using your marinara recipe too! It's also one of our favorites!
