A rich and creamy tortellini casserole, with a gooey cheese crust. Get creative, try mascarpone or ricotta in place of the cream cheese. Or, try smoked mozzarella or fontina on top. This would also be wonderful with wild mushroom tortellini and a jar of alfredo sauce instead of marinara. Adjust the recipe to your taste. Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup processed liquid cheese spread (recommended: Cheese Whiz)
1 package (8 ounces) shredded 6-cheese Italian Blend (Mozzarella, smoked Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina, and Asiago cheeses)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 packages (9 ounces each) fresh cheese tortellini
Salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and bring to a simmer. Whisk in processed cheese. Gradually whisk in shredded cheeses. Stir until cheeses melt and mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Whisk in cayenne.
  • Meanwhile, cook the tortellini in a pot of boiling, salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Add tortellini to cheese sauce. Toss to coat. Divide tortellini and sauce equally among the pasta bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the right tortellini: There are many different types of tortellini available, so choose one that you like the flavor of. You can also make your own tortellini if you have the time.
  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions: Most tortellini will need to be boiled for a few minutes until they are cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the tortellini, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Serve the tortellini immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tortellini will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.
