Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Tortellini Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven's broiler and positioning the rack at the top.
Step 2
Generously coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to ensure a non-stick surface.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil, then add the tortellini, cooking them according to the package instructions.
Step 4
Once tender, drain the tortellini and set them aside.
Step 5
In a spacious saucepan, mix together marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, thawed spinach, and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
Step 6
Heat this delightful blend over medium-high heat until it simmers, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it gently bubble for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Carefully fold the cooked tortellini into the sauce, then transfer the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Step 8
Crown the dish with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, finishing with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for that extra touch.
Step 9
Slide the dish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a close eye until the cheese is perfectly melted and golden brown, creating a tantalizingly crispy top.
Step 10
Enjoy the comforting aroma as your dish transforms into a cheesy masterpiece, ready to be savored.
