Preparation

Step 1

PREHEAT oven to 350°F.

BRING a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. ADD Three Cheese Tortellini and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain pasta.

BRING the Marinara Sauce to a simmer over low heat in a medium sauce pan, stirring often.

STIR in the cream and continue to simmer over low heat until the sauce is heated through. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1⁄2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

SEASON the sauce with more salt and pepper to taste. TOSS the tortellini with the sauce.

BUTTER a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter, pour the pasta and sauce into the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.

BAKE until the top starts to brown, about 25 minutes.
