By norsegal8

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1 lb. purchased cheese tortellini
• 2 ounces thinly sliced smoked mozzarella
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk the marinara sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme in a large bowl to blend. Cook the tortellini in a pot of boiling, salted water until just temder, about 2 minutes. Drain.

Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. Transfer the tortellini mixture to an 8 x 8-inch oiled baking dish. Top the mixture with the smoked mozzarella and Parmesan.

Cover and bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese on top melts, about 30 minutes.
