Very quick and easy. Needs a little more kick. It wasn't salty at all. I did substitute freshly cooked chicken for the pre-prepared and frozen tortellini for refrigerated. My whole family loved it and dinner was done in a flash. I plan on playing with the recipe a little bit. Maybe swap out the tomato pesto for some 3 pepper pesto....
