Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package cheese tortellini 20 oz package
  • 1 lb ground beef browned
  • 1 jar marinara sauce 24 oz jar
  • 2 cups shredded Italian or mozzarella cheese for topping
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese for added creaminess
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan for topping
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain excess grease.
  2. Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5–7 minutes.
  3. Mix the tortellini with the meat sauce.
  4. Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Top with shredded cheese, spoonfuls of ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley.
  6. Bake uncovered at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with extra parsley.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly and stays extra gooey.
