Asiago Tortellini

Alrighty, so not a great picture. But, what a great dish! Because you are using frozen tortellini, this dish is fast. The tomatoes and broth add tons of flavor. Great for a quick lunch, or light dinner. I served it for dinner, alongside some quick and easy Flatbread (recipe coming!) and salad.
