Notes
To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely. Then, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, but the texture of the tortellini may change a bit when reheated. For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth. You can add vegetables like spinach or broccoli for extra nutrition.
