FAQS:

How should I store Pizza Tortellini?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.

What substitutions could I make?

• Frozen cheese tortellini: Any kind of tortellini, cooked according to the package directions, can be used for this recipe.
• Italian sausage meat: Any kind of ground meat could be used in place of the sausage meat. Ground beef, ground chicken and ground pork would all work well, you may just want to add some extra seasoning as you will lose the seasoning from the sausage meat.
• Onions and Green Peppers: Feel free to add or substitute your favourite veggies. Mushrooms, red peppers and spinach would all work well.
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: You can substitute another kind of cheese if you prefer, you will just lose the classic pizza mozzarella flavour.

Do I need to use the oven?

If you don’t want to finish the dish in the oven under the broiler, you could simple place a lid on the skillet while it’s over low heat on the stovetop until the cheese is well melted.
