My thoughts:
I actually enjoyed this meal. I served it with garlic bread and my kids just ate it up. We're not really use to eating tortellini, so the texture of the pasta was something we had to get use to, but other then that I thought the meal turned out delicious. It got eaten up pretty quick, with no left overs. It was very easy to make and didn't take long at all. We used chicken instead of ham or turkey, but I'm sure either of the three would be great in this recipe.

Disclosure: All opinions are my own. I participated in the Hidden Valley Ranch Recipe Challenge which included five bottles of ranch and a $100 gift card to get the ingredients to the recipe I used. No other compensation was received.
