Ingredients

  • 1 (19 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini (about 4.5 cups of frozen tortellini), do not thaw
  • 3 cups Alfredo sauce (I use 2 jars that are 15 ounces each)
  • ½ cup chicken broth or water
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or use dried basil, oregano, parsley, chives, or Italian seasoning)
  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken (such as the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (I used a blend of peas, carrots, corn, and green beans), do not thaw
  • ½-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, or basil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl), stir together the frozen tortellini, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth (or water), and thyme. Cover tightly with foil. Bake (covered) for 30 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven; gently stir. At this point, the pasta should be tender (or almost tender).
  2. Stir in the chicken and the frozen mixed vegetables. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  3. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the cheese melts, about 5-10 more minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

  • The total baking time will vary depending on a number of different factors, including the type/size/brand of tortellini, the type of pan that you use, and on your individual oven. As a result, keep an eye on the tortellini as it bakes. You’ll know it’s done when the pasta is al dente (tender with a firm bite). The tortellini will continue to cook and soften as it sits in the hot sauce, so you don’t want to overcook it and end up with mushy or torn tortellini.
  • The nutritional information provided is just an estimate, and will vary depending on the brand of tortellini, chicken, and sauce that you use.
