    Ingredients for Baked Tortellini Recipe

    For the exact measurements for the baked cheese tortellini casserole, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post. 

    • 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.
    • deli beef - thinly sliced deli roast beef is delicious! If you'd like to save some money, substitute ground beef.
    • provolone cheese - thinly sliced, yes you can substitute Swiss or pepper jack. Mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese would be delicious as well!
    • 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 tortellini. Just cook to al dente.

    🔪 Instructions

    • A large skillet - this one is great because it's super deep. Or a dutch oven to cook the peppers, onions and sauce.

    There's definitely a theme in the colors I'm choosing today - these are pretty!

    FAQ's

    Can I substitute with ravioli?

    Absolutely! Substitute with any pasta you have on hand. The baked cheesy tortellini is just so delicious!

    How long does it take to cook tortellini?

    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!

    How do you know when pasta is cooked?

    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.

    Tips

    No matter what type of pasta you use, cook to al dente. Don't overcook the pasta!

    More cheese never hurts!

    Variations

    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.

    If you'd like to save some money, substitute ground beef. Brown it first in a large skillet, drain excess grease.

    If you'd prefer, use sliced red or green bell peppers.

    Lean ground beef that's been brown could be substituted for the shaved steak.

    Add your favorite red sauce, meat sauce or spaghetti sauce to make a totally different dish.

    Storage

    Allow leftovers of the Philly Cheesesteak Bake to cool completely, wrap tightly and refrigerate. It will last in the refrigerator 3-4 days. Freeze for up to three months.

    Serving suggestions

    As you can see one of my favorite sides to serve with tortellini pasta bake is roasted asparagus! A few more great recipes are steamed Brussels sprouts or steamed green beans. This dish is rich and a light side is best!

    If you're looking some yummy rolls to sop up that delicious cheese sauce, bake a batch of these fluffy dinner rolls!

      Can this be prepped ahead of time and baked later?
