Very good. I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned and didn't have any fresh basil so I used dry. Would have definitely been better with fresh. I think that I would under cook the tortellini a tad next time so that when it simmers with the rest of the ingredients it will finish and be less mushy.

This was great and filling! I used extra dressing for more jiuce and served with buttered wheat rolls. My husband loved it!

I couldn't find the specific dressing at the store, so i bought the italian dressing and pureed the red pepper and mixed it together. It came out very runny, but it was VERY good.

it was good but next time will use regular canned toamtoes. It was missing a bit of flavor. Also next time I will chop up my spinach :)

I just made this for dinner. It was very easy and and tasty. The sauce is very light and not overwhelming. I couldn't find the Roasted Red Pepper salad dressing so I used Kraft Tuscan Italian instead.

I have never made tortellini without traditional spaghetti sauce or cream sauce. I loved it:)

This was very good and easy to make. I didn't have the dressing called for in the recipe, so I whisked some crushed red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese into 1/4 c. of Italian dressing and let it sit to blend flavors while I prepared the rest of the dish. Also, I had jumbo shrimp so cut them in 1/2 for easier eating. Next time I will double the dressing as the dish was a bit dry. I served it with garlic bread and a side salad. Watermelon slices for dessert nicely finished the meal.
