Baked Tortellini

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to boil and add tortellini. Cook for 3 minutes, then drain water.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and seasoning to a skillet, cook until no pink remains. Drain the fluid.

Step 4

Cut up the cream cheese into chunks and add to the ground meat.

Step 5

Mix the pasta sauce with the tortellini, carefully don’t overmix or break up the pasta.

Step 6

Add the meat mixture to the pasta and carefully stir until mixed well.

Step 7

Add to the prepared dish and top the meat mixture with the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

Step 8

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. It should have started to bubble on the sides now.

Step 9

For a better appearance, broil the top of the cheese for a couple of minutes until the desired color is reached, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve hot with garlic bread and a side salad.
