Notes
- I recommend using freshly grated Parmesan cheese if possible.
- If you decided to use frozen tortellini, I recommend thawing it out before using.
- Make sure to use sun dried tomatoes that are packed in oil.
- Don't over cook the tortellini. Make sure to cook it until al dente so it doesn't get mushy.
