Notes

Nutrition information is provided as a courtesy and may vary depending on ingredients used.
You can use fresh or frozen tortellini, any size, from a 26-32 ounce bag. I used 3- 8.8 ounce packages of shelf stable type tortellini from Aldi.
Use your favorite meats. You could use cubed ham, mortadella, soppressata, any type of salami, capicola, or prosciutto. Slice it thin or cut the meat into chunks.
Instead of mozzarella pearls you can use the Bocconi balls or cut cubes from a large mozzarella ball.
