- Alfredo sauce - store-bought is what I recommend, it works great with this dish.
- frozen peppers - you can certainly substitute fresh, if so I'd use three red, green and yellow or orange bell peppers sliced very thinly.
- provolone cheese - thinly sliced, yes you can substitute Swiss or pepper jack, but I stuck with the classic flavors here.
- cream cheese - you can omit this if you prefer, but just that little bit of cheese really up's the flavor in the store-bought sauce.
- tortellini - I used frozen, but you can substitute with dried or fresh. All will work great!
This is an overview of the instructions. For the complete directions just scroll down to the bottom!
Absolutely! Substitute with any pasta you have on hand. The baked cheesy tortellini is just so delicious!
Just minutes! Depending on whether you choose frozen, fresh or dried it can take anywhere from 2-8 minutes. That's why it's perfect for a weeknight meal!
It cooks very quickly. You'll know it's ready to be drained when it is slightly puffed up and floats to the top of the pot it's boiling in.
No matter what type of pasta you use, cook to al dente. Don't overcook the pasta!
Love this idea, but want to make it vegetarian? That's certainly easy enough, just omit the meat! You can add sautéed mushrooms for meaty goodness or leave them out.
Adding a couple big handfuls of spinach makes this super yummy as well.
No tortellini? No problem - you can use ravioli, bowtie, rigatoni, penne pasta. You can even use spaghetti. Just break it into thirds before boiling it.
🍽️ Storage
Allow leftovers to cool completely, wrap tightly and refrigerate. It will last in the refrigerator 3-4 days. Freeze for up to three months.
