TORTELLINI & SPINACH LASAGNA CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Cook the pasta, according to package directions, in heavily salted boiling water (this is your only chance to season the pasta properly). For the spinach(optional): Heat just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a skillet, about 1 Tablespoon. Add two cloves of peeled fresh garlic and cook at low heat-- for 5-10 minutes. The idea is to infuse the flavor of the garlic into the oil. Add one bag (about 2 pounds) of fresh spinach into the pan of oil and turn the heat to medium. The spinach will look like a LOT, but it will wilt down and shrink as it cooks-- about 5-10 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and set aside. In an oven-proof pan, pour a layer of marinara sauce to coat the bottom. Add the drained pasta, and the cooked spinach. Add a layer of cheese. Repeat, if there is enough to do so. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Choose your tortellini carefully. Fresh or frozen tortellini will work well in this casserole. If you are using dried tortellini, be sure to cook it according to the package directions before assembling the casserole.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta, will give the casserole a rich and flavorful taste.
- Add your favorite vegetables. Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms can be added to the casserole for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The tortellini should be cooked through, but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the tortellini mushy.
- Serve the casserole immediately. The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
Conclusion:
Tortellini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tortellini. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
