I’m not kidding–this dish came together in less than 15 minutes once the water started boiling. I felt so satisfied using all my leftovers and the results were so delicious we just ate out of the bowl for dinner (desperate times and all that). If your don’t have tortellini use any noodle in your pantry.
This meal is comfort food at its best and Lord knows we all need a little comfort right now.
Be safe and well.

Hi Tonja! I had no tortellini so I used macaroni. Also did not have frozen peas so I used fresh spinach and wilted it in the mix. Yummy!!! Great way to use that leftover ham!
