Braxton’s Cheese Tortellini with Mixed Veggies
- 1 bag of frozen cheese tortellini (I like the ones from Costco)
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (I like carrots, corn, and peas)
- I jar alfredo sauce
- Shredded mozzarella
Cook tortellini according to directions. Heat veggies and mix in with tortellini. Pour heated alfredo sauce onto tortellini and mixed veggies. Top with cheese. Enjoy!!
