Ingredients
- one-20 ounce package 1 pound 4 ounces three-cheese tortellini (spinach, sausage, etc. tortellini may be substituted), cooked according to package directions
- ⅓ cup mascarpone cheese about 3 ounces, softened to room temp
- 2 cups red pasta sauce I used a basil-infused sauce
- 2 ounces Parmesan Cheese about 1/2 cup, finely grated
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese about 2 cups, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely minced for garnishing, optional, Italian flat-leaf, or fresh basil
Instructions
- Cook tortellini according to package directions, drain, transfer to a large bowl, add the mascarpone, and stir to encourage the mascarpone to melt. Stir until all mascarpone has melted and tortellini are evenly coated.
- Add the pasta sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Transfer tortellini and any sauce to an 8×8-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- Evenly sprinkle the parmesan cheese.
- Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese. If desired, cover with foil and at this point you can refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking or bake now.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F, and bake uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and as lightly golden browned and bubbly as desired.
- Prior to serving, optionally garnish with parsley or basil. Serve immediately.
