Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini with Ricotta and Herb Sauce

This is a very quick pasta dish to make that tastes great and makes for a great mid week meal. My son and hubby love this dish, as do I because I can have it on the table in about 25-30 Minutes, which for me is great, when you get in late and do not want to fuss in the kitchen all night.
