    I used beef salami instead of the mortadella, and cooked the cubes of it before adding. My tortellini package was 10 oz (which was more than enough for 2 of us - leftovers), so I only used a cup of chicken broth. This was good, and different from our usual pastas, and I was very happy to only have to clean one pan. Thinking next time I might use turkey bacon in place of the mortadella.

    This was delicious, satisfying, quick, cheap, and one pot to wash. Love this book. I used roasted, salted pistachios so just threw them in at the end, & only 1 tablespoon of butter.

    This was fantastic. I agree that the pistachios are delicious, although my children wanted them on the side/not at all (whatever - more for me!). Very quick, comforting without being heavy dinner - will definitely make again. I did sub pancetta for the mortadella, since that is what I could find.

    My pistachios weren't roasted, so maybe didn't end up as crispy as they should have, but they were still tasty. I didn't think everything would fit in my nonstick skillet, so I used a flat-bottomed nonstick wok, which allowed me to stir in 8 oz baby spinach at the end. Great method for cooking tortellini and I can see doing other variations. One of the quickest, easiest, and tastiest dinners I've made.

    This was a hit at a family dinner. Three generations enjoyed it. I had the mortadella cut thickly, almost the size of a pea, and I think this worked very well. I also used more peas than called for in the interest of finishing up a bag of frozen peas. Don't skimp on the pistachios or the lemon.

    This was a hit for a week night dinner - the crispy pistachios were delicious, don’t skip them. Loved it.
