TORTELLINI TUNA CASSEROLE



Tortellini Tuna Casserole image

This tortellini tuna casserole is my updated version of the one I loved growing up. The creamy from-scratch sauce is made with fresh mushrooms, garlic, white wine, and peas. Plus, the tortellini cooks right in the sauce - no need to boil it ahead of time.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
4 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup 2% milk
1/4 heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (4-oz) can white albacore tuna packed in water, drained
1 cup frozen peas
2 cups cheese tortellini
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and stir to coat them in the oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir. Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for ten minutes or until they've released their moisture.
  • Add the wine to the pan and, as it simmers, scrape up the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the butter to the pan and stir until it's melted. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and butter and stir.
  • Add the milk and cream to the pan. Stir and bring it to a low simmer and adjust the heat to keep it from boiling. Simmer the sauce for five minutes or so or until it starts to thicken (it should lightly coat the back of a spoon). Add the black pepper, tuna, and peas and stir to combine. Add the tortellini and stir to coat it in the sauce. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a 1 1/12-quart baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the topping over the top of the pasta and sauce in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the casserole for 30 minutes. Let the casserole stand for a few minutes before serving.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TORTELLINI TOMATO SOUP



Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Tomato Soup image

This satisfying soup is an excellent one-pot dinner to come home to after a long day. It takes only 10 minutes to throw it together in the morning and 10 minutes to finish it in the evening. If you plan to be away for eight hours or more, set the cook time for four hours, then set the slow cooker to auto-switch to warm for the remaining time. (This prevents overcooking.) If you'll be home when the soup is done and can remove it from the heat, it's best to cook the chicken for five to six hours. Add only the tortellini you will eat right away. Leftover tortellini will get mushy.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano (from about 3 to 4 sprigs) or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 3/4 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
5 ounces baby spinach
1 (8- to 10-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup grated Parmesan, for serving
Torn or sliced fresh basil, for serving
Black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, whisk together the stock, wine and tomato paste until the paste dissolves. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt. (If you are using unsalted stock, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.) Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours.
  • Increase the heat to high for 10 minutes. Coarsely shred the chicken with two forks, pressing pieces of chicken against the side of the slow cooker to break the thighs apart. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts into the soup.
  • Stir in the tortellini, cover the slow cooker, and cook until the tortellini are al dente and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt if it tastes flat. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with Parmesan, basil and black pepper.

TUNA TORTELLINI CASSEROLE



Tuna Tortellini Casserole image

I stole this idea from one of those dinner assembly place menus. The addition of tortellini as the "noodles" in tuna noodle casserole almost makes it decadent. It is still just a basic tuna noodle casserole recipe - not really meant to be real spicy or or exciting :-) Just comfort food . . .

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Look for ripe vegetables, tender tortellini, and high-quality tuna.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much tuna or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches so that they have room to cook properly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and other seasonings to taste. Don't be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect flavor balance.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
