TORTELLINI WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES



Tortellini With Asparagus and Tomatoes image

I whipped this together after reading a similar recipe calling for spinach instead of asparagus. My bf really enjoyed this. I hope you do too! P.S. I am going to be honest and tell you I don't measure anything, so these are really approximations of the ingredients I used. PLEASE adjust to what you feel would better suite your taste.
