RECIPE! Easy cheesy baked tortellini!
Made this for dinner last night... YUM!
You'll need...
Olive oil
2 cups marinara sauce [pic at bottom of 1 i recommend]
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 package purchased cheese tortellini [pic at bottom]
2 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella
freshly grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 350.
Lightly oil 2 gratin dishes.
--Whisk the sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme in a large bowl to blend.
--Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
--Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. --Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dishes.
--Top the mixture with the mozzarella and Parmesan. --Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes.
--Remove foil and bake another 10 or so minutes until cheese bubbles.
I like this tortelloni
and this sauce
FYI if you've never used it... mascarpone cheese comes in a package like this (the one at the top)
and we used these from Crate & Barrel which Steve LOVED... it was good for individual portions. ($20 for set of 4)
