Cheesy Baked Tortellini

By á-6416

Ingredients

• Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
• 2 cups of your favorite prepared pasta sauce (I prefer Muir Glen or Rao if possible)
• 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1 pound of your favorite tortellini
• 2 ounces sliced smoked mozzarella (I was a bit heavy handed with the slicing)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly oil or spray an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish with olive oil.
In a large bowl, whisk the prepared pasta sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme until it is fully blended.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini for a couple of minutes and drain.
Add the tortellini to the sauce mixture and toss until the tortellini are coated.
Transfer the sauce and tortellini to the prepared baking dish.
Top with the sliced smoked mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake for about 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned and bubbling.
Enjoy!
