Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch Oven (or very large pot) over medium high heat. Add meat and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Add onions and carrots and cook until meat is browned.
- Add mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add squash, bell peppers and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in all of the remaining “Bolognese Sauce ingredients” and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- After 15 minutes, discard bay leaf and stir in 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan and the uncooked tortellini. Stir until well combined then pour 1/2 of this Bolognese tortellini into a 9x13 casserole dish. Top with 1 cup mozzarella then top with remaining Bolognese tortellni followed by remaining cheeses.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes then remove foil and broil cheese until golden brown.
Notes
- ***Use your favorite quality tortellini because that's what makes this dish! I love the Seven Cheese Olivieri Tortellini from the refrigerated section at Costco as well as 3 Cheese Buitoni Tortellini.
