Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups low fat milk
4 ounces low fat cream cheese
3 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (19 ounce) bag frozen tortellini
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1 (10 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables (I used green beans, carrots, peas, and corn)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Start by making the Alfredo sauce by placing milk, low fat cream cheese, flour and salt in a blender and blend it until it is completely smooth.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter and garlic for a minute. Whisk in the blended milk mixture, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes.
  • Continue stirring the sauce over heat until it reaches your desired thickness, then mix in Parmesan cheese.
  • Once your sauce is ready (or if you don't make homemade Alfredo sauce, feel free to use jarred sauce), it's time to assemble the casserole.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In the baking dish, mix together Alfredo sauce, frozen tortellini (don't cook it first), chicken broth, seasonings, chicken and frozen vegetables.

TORTELLINI & SPINACH LASAGNA CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Tortellini & Spinach Lasagna Casserole Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bag fresh ravioli (or tortellini) stuffed with four cheeses (or flavor of your choice)
1 large can marinara sauce (or make your own, about 2 to 3 cups)
Mozzarella cheese (shredded) or cheese of your choice
1 bag fresh spinach (baby spinach isn't necessary) about 2 pounds.
Olive oil
2 large garlic cloves

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.
