INGREDIENTS
- 10 oz. package refrigerated cheese Tortellini, uncooked (or whatever filling you prefer)
- 15 oz. jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce (I used Bertolli)
- ½ cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. (or dried oregano)
- 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup fresh grated shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 6 oz. shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese (and extra for the top)
- Kosher Salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
- cup 1/2 grated Parmesan, plus more for serving garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add Tortellini, alfredo sauce, water, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cheeses, parsley if using, and a couple of generous pinches of salt and pepper to a 9x9 baking dish. (add any of the add-ins in the notes section at this time)
- Stir until everything is well combined. (see notes and add more water if needed based on add-ins.)
- Top with the rest of the mozzarella.
- Cover with a lid or a tight-fitting piece of tin foil.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the ravioli is cooked al dente and the sauce is bubbly.
- Remove lid/foil and broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese on top turns golden brown. (watch it, it goes fast)
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, extra cheese if desired and enjoy!
NOTES
Optional add-ins: Add only 1 or 2 of these options. And add enough water to cover the tortellini in the sauce is key.
- 2 cups fresh spinach (add at the beginning)
- 1 cup frozen peas (no need to defrost)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken, shrimp, beef, or sausage (perfect for using up leftovers)
