BERTOLLI PASTA MEAL COPYCAT

Bertolli Pasta Meal Copycat image

I wanted to have a freezer-to-skillet meal that would cook in 10 minutes similar to the meals for two that Bertolli sells in the freezer case. Rather than preparing this all at once, I filled the bag as I had extra ingredients from preparing other meals.
