Equipment

  • 9x13 casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 19 ounce cheese tortellini frozen or fresh
  • 15 ounce frozen bell pepper strips
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 15 ounces alfredo sauce
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • ⅓ pound deli roast beef thinly sliced
  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Boil the pasta in a large pot of water. Cook the tortellini as per package directions just short of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the oven.) Drain well, set aside.
  • Set a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive and frozen peppers. (No need to thaw them first.) Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
  • Add the cream cheese and alfredo sauce. Stir to combine and melt the cream cheese. Dice the roast beef into bite sized pieces. Add to the sauce mixture.
  • Next add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Top with slices of sliced provolone cheese.
  • Bake the casserole uncovered for 20 minutes until it is hot & bubbly and the top is lightly brown. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Any type of pasta works in this dish; ravioli, bowtie, rigatoni, penne pasta, etc. Do not overcook the pasta - cook to al dente, it will finish cooking in the oven.
For vegetarian pasta, omit the beef adding sautéed mushrooms instead.
Adding a couple big handfuls of spinach makes this super yummy as well.
This can easier be made on the stove top by combining all of the ingredients. You'll just be missing the cheesy browned crust.

        This was so so delicious! We paired it with mushrooms stuffed with spinach artichoke dip that we smoked on a pellet grill. OMG, they went together wonderfully! Thanks for such a tasty recipe.

        Can this be prepped ahead of time and baked later?

          Yes, make it ahead and cover with foil and refrigerate. It may take 10 to 15 minutes longer to heat. Enjoy this meal Meranda!
