Description
A comforting and easy one-pan dinner made with cheese tortellini, roasted broccoli, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 500 g refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Optional: red pepper flakes for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the refrigerated cheese tortellini and broccoli florets evenly on the sheet pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Roast for 15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
- Remove the pan from the oven and pour the marinara sauce over the tortellini and broccoli. Toss lightly to combine.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish with red pepper flakes if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- Add cooked chicken or sausage for extra protein.
- Spinach can be used instead of broccoli, or combined with it.
- Try different tortellini fillings such as spinach and ricotta or meat-filled tortellini.
- For a creamier sauce, stir a little heavy cream into the marinara sauce before adding it.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 to 15 minutes for the best texture, or microwave for a quicker option.
- Frozen tortellini can be used, but thawing first or adding a few extra minutes helps it cook evenly.
- This dish can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
