The tortalini had a little too much pepper in it but other than that this dish tasted great, it was quick and easy to make.

Oh man! It's outstanding! Really quick to put together, tastes great, and my roomies LOVED it. You'd think it was their first home cooked meal in years. Full of flavor, but so simple at the same time.

I really liked this! Was quick and simple. Although next time I will wait to add the shrimp later as it's overcooked. But I will definitely be adding this to my weekly rotation.

I loved how simple this was to make. I was surprised that something this simple tasted so good. I will definately make this again.

I think it's super yummy & relatively easy and quick to prepare. I've used the tortelli that is not refrigerated with great results. I like the recipe also because it's high in fiber & healthy for my family and a good break from the traditional things I prepare.

Does anyone know where I could find the Roasted Red Pepper Italian with Parmesan Dressing. I live in the Los Angeles area and have gone to Vons, Albertons and some other local markets and I am yet to find where they sell this. Thank you. Dressing finder.....

Delicious. My whole family loved it and had seconds. I cooked the shrimp in a pan with olive oil and garlic to firm them up a little bit as well, then put it all together. Very wonderful

This recipe is absolutely amazing! I have made many things from Kraft's site before, but nothing even compares to this recipe! Added a little more dressing, some portabella mushrooms, and topped it with feta cheese. Don't know if I would add mushrooms again, they didn't add much flavor. Maybe next time I will add more to enhance the flavor. MUST MAKE!
