Nic’s Lemon Butter Tortellini

This is how the cookbook started. Nic was leaving for college and asked for a cookbook to make his favorite foods. The kid lives on pasta, so this was the first recipe. We printed it out, then came the phone calls from the grocery store – umm, so what is in beanie weanie?  The cookbook then went to the web where everything can be found using the the one item kids are never without – their phone.
