TORTELLINI BAKE! (Yes I was wearing Christmas pajamas making this…😂) This is the perfect dinner to bring to a friend who needs a little extra love- it’s one of those simple dinners that hits the spot every time. Ingredients - 1 lb hot or mild Italian sausage - 1 1/2 cups heavy cream - 1/2 cup grated parmesan - 1 package cheese tortellini (spinach tortellini would be great too!) - Marinara sauce - Shredded mozzarella - 2 tbsp Italian breadcrumbs - Italian seasonings, red pepper flakes Instructions: - In a large dutch oven or pot, brown the italian sausage - Next, add in heavy cream and bring it to a light simmer - Add in the parmesan - Add in italian seasoning & red pepper flakes - While this is simmering, boil your tortellini according to package instructions - Once tortellini are done, add them to the italian sausage mixture - In a baking dish, pour the italian sausage tortellini in - Add a thin layer of your favorite marinara sauce - Top with lots of shredded mozzerella and italian breadcrumbs - Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 mins, then broil for 1-2 mins if you want a crispy, golden topping - Top with extra parm and some crusty bread! #easydinner #tortellinibake #DinnerIdeas #postpartummeals #comfortfood
