A delightful and easy-to-make cheesy tortellini casserole that is perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden top.
Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, stopping just before al dente.
Undercooking the pasta slightly prevents it from becoming mushy during baking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese and marinara sauce. Heat over medium heat until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Ensure even coverage to prevent sticking.
Drain the tortellini and transfer it to the prepared casserole dish.
Shake off excess water to avoid diluting the sauce.
Pour the creamy marinara sauce over the tortellini, ensuring even coverage.
Use a spatula to spread the sauce evenly.
Top the dish with shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.
Spread the cheese evenly for a consistent golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the casserole to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy tortellini casserole!
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
