Frozen Tortellini

Goomba's cream sauce thing sounds good, but Rob would never eat it.
What else can I do with my frozen tortellini? Forget the cold
salad--he doesn't like that, either. Come to think of it, I think it's
the tortellini he's not wild about (plus the very idea of cream sauce).
Dare I throw some in some chicken broth instead of using noodles?
Tomato sauce? (I don't like that idea.)

I'd use them in broth, chicken preferably. Some
sliced green onions and a splash of sherry would
be good. Sort of a quickie wonton soup.
Did you win any money? See any good shows?

Boil the daylights out of them in a good Chicken soup and call them
Kreplach / won ton.

;-)

Kreplach
"Kreplach are often made for the Purim feast. They are dumplings filled with
meat, onions, and spices. They can be served in chicken soup (similar to won
ton soup) or fried and served as a side dish. This recipe is for ground beef
kreplach but you could also use chicken or other vegetables to make a
vegetarian version. If you prefer, you may leave the cinnamon and walnuts
out of this recipe." Original recipe yield: 45 dumplings.

How about tossing them in some pesto?

Butter and parmesian cheese?

What about vodka sauce; is that too much like cream sauce?

I'm starting to think that I'll be working my way through the stuff on
my own. I might get him to eat them in soup, but not much else.
Actually, he'd eat them, but only out of respect for the cook.
Actually, I think he just doesn't like tortellini. In any version.
Thanks, Jillsie.

For me, yes. For him, it'd be a loser. See my response to Jill.
Thanks for the reply, though.

That's going to be the only way he'll do it, I think, Dimitri. And
likely what supper will be. Need to get those puppies out of the
freezer. I've got a chunk of turkey in the freezer, too. Will add that
to the broth. Ta.

Lost my shirt but not my a**. Actually, I came home with some money --
see my Trip Report. Without that one win, I'd be screwed. And speaking
of THAT -- we saw Zumanity. <heavy breathing>. And Rita Rudner. She
was a kick -- see my sig line? The tortellini are going into soup.
Thanks!

Butter and parm would be good for me. I don't think he's going to be
nuts about anything I do with them.

I think I'll make Nancy's chicken tortilla soup and use the tortellini
instead of tortillas. Or something. We're going to freeze off our
nubbins here this week -- something spicy would not be a bad thing!
Gotta hit the store anyway -- need to run my car.

Don't forget some frozen peas and carrots

;-)

All the best to Rob.

Dimitri

On a lark serve with some lemon wedges on the side and let Rob try a little
lemon in the chicken soup - maybe a separate bowl to try the lemon and Soup

How about just oil and garlic. Tasty and simple.

Butter, olive oil, garlic, and *shrimp*. Rob can pick out 2/3 of the
shrimp and leave all the noodles and some of the shrimps for Barb.

Tortellini in brodo is a bolognese classic.

How about Tortellini in Spicy Chicken Tortilla-less Brodo, Bubba?

The joke's on me, folks: I must've used them up -- I have none in the
freezer. And I used a can of jalapeños instead of green chilies --
hushpuppadinisniki! This be hot stuff! I'm hoping the sour cream will
tone down the bite a little. If not, Professor Rob may be nuking
himself a potpie for supper. Yikes!
