Baked Tortellini
Baked Tortellini is one of the easiest recipes you can make for the entire family.
Imagine cheese filled tortellini doused in your favorite pasta sauce and loaded with two kinds of cheese, this tortellini casserole is so delicious.
The best thing about this recipe is that the active time is 10 minutes but it feeds the entire family. There is no hassle to make the dish as you can get everything in the supermarkets.
Fresh Vs. Frozen Tortellini
You can get fresh and frozen tortellini at the stores. Buy them fresh if they are available, if not, you can always cook and bake frozen tortellini in the oven.
However, for the best results, I usually parboil frozen tortellini in hot boiling water for a minute or so before baking them in the oven.
Baked Tortellini Ingredients
To make baked tortellini, you need the following ingredients:
- Fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
- Pasta sauce
- Mozarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil
For my recipe, I used mini tortellini because I just love everything mini. Things just seem better when they are mini sized.
However, you can use regular sized tortellini. Try this Cheesy Baked Tortellini recipe, I am sure you will love it.
How To Make Cheesy Baked Tortellini
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour olive oil into a baking dish and spread it out evenly to coat the bottom.
Boil the tortellini until they float to the top, about 1–2 minutes. Drain well.
Toss the cooked tortellini with the pasta sauce and stir until evenly coated.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the tortellini, then top with chopped parsley.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
