Tortellini bake with rose sauce is quick and easy meatless meal. Loaded with lots of cheese and marinara sauce, it’s a comfort food dish that everyone will love.
Have you ever been hit on – by a woman? (OK, gents – that what a rhetorical question). Because it happens to me all the time.
I was out to dinner with some friends once having an evening of ridiculously fun conversations and being ourselves. I don’t remember what we were really talking about but movies, politics and the sorts tend to be our normal topics. I know Angelina Jolie was being spoken about at once point or another (yeah, I know she’s not everyone’s favorite – but I love her).
Our conversation went on and on and when the couple across from us got up to leave the woman headed to our table. She said something along the lines of a pick up regarding how hot our conversation was and how she loved how assertive and confident we were. I winked at my friends thinking one of them was about to get picked up.
And then she handed me a business card, “I’d love to hear form you some time.” Followed up by how great my views were and how much she had enjoyed listening to me talk.
Um. Not what I had expected at all.
And then I looked at the card….. Oh yeah. It was for Slumber Parties, to which my friends had to explain to me was an ‘adult’ themed Tupperware party. Oh my.
About the tortellini bake:
Don’t let the phrase “rose sauce” fool you. There’s no wine in this recipe. Rose sauce is basically marinara sauce combined with cream, or in this case, cream cheese!

This looks so freaking mouthwatering! Yum!
LOL!!! Spicy!! And I didn’t mean the pasta bake 😀 That looks super tasty! And that, I meant the pasta bake.
I get that alot and still don’t know how to handle it. Gimme a man and I’ll know what to do, no problem. It’s funny that I’m noticing it happening more now that I’m older … strange.
Two of my closest friends are a lesbian couple so I get it quite a bit, but in jest from them because they’re married and well, so am I (married, that is). Anyhow, I’m looking to make a baked sausage and penne ragu from a magazine soon but I want to chuck it and make this one instead. Yours looks so much better. Way very much so.
HAHA!!! Thats one funny story. How you doing hot stuff 🙂 and that dish looks yummy
That sauce is beautiful! Making dishes like this, I’d hit on you!
HA!!! Hilarious! One of the last times I went out with my girlfriends we almost got kicked out. And not for anything good! We were at Applebee’s, near the bar having dessert, laughing and being a little loud. But it was 9:00 pm, and there were only like 2 people in there! Some guy complained and we almost got kicked out! No getting hit on 🙁
Love the pasta, it looks so gooey and comforting!
Too funny! The dish looks so good, I think it would be a hit for all the kids too!
You had me with “quick”! This is totally up my alley.
OMG, too funny! Not to mention, um, awkward!
I’m totally loving this dish though, it looks quick, easy, and super tasty!
Mmmm, this looks so comforting and perfect 🙂 Love that they’re individual sized, too! Great comfort recipe!
I’m slightly speechless lol. As for the food…I love baked dishes! They just feel so much more special somehow.
I have never had something like that happen to me before! But in other news I want this dish for lunch in an hour, mk thanks!
