Overview

Tortellini and Coconut sauce? Hell yeah! It’s delicious. Chicken would also go well in this meal. If you do decided to use chicken, cut them into strips, lightly brown the meat with mushrooms but don’t cook all the way, finish in the sauce. Cooking it in the sauce makes the meat a little more tender and has more of the flavor.  This makes about 6 servings.
