Cheesy Tortellini Casserole Recipe
It's going to get crazy here at the Sorensen camp. Spring is always the busiest time of the year for us and it gets downright nuts.

Next make your sauce.
And lastly, combine all of your ingredients. I told you this recipe was SO easy, right?
And, finally, after baking you're going to get this ooey, gooey mess of awesomeness:
This pasta casserole is also great for leftovers as well. 🙂
