After my kid started eating mac and cheese I started looking at pasta in a whole new different way. Plain old mac and cheese was just that for me-Plain old. I started searching for ways to jazz it up a bit and then I discovered Tortellini and Ravioli. And the best Tortellini I found was at Trader Joe's. Their Tri-Color mini Tortellini is just perfect for a quick meal for a hungry toddler.
I discovered that pasta or tortellini or ravioli if made properly can me made for a cold winter night or for a hot summer evening. And both kind of nights can be filled with warm and fuzzy feelings.
