This is the absolute best version of this trendy recipe. I’ve made it several times. I usually gave all the ingredients in my fridge so easy peasy. I add onions and Parmesan because it adds more flavor and I am a cheese freak. And I use crumbled feta only because that is what I always have in the fridge. I wonder what adding kalamata olives would do. Hmmmm. I did not defrost or precook the tortellini. It was fine.
