One Pot Easy Pizza Tortellini Bake

Well, here we are again, settled back into our November schedule which is filled with school, soccer practice and it always seems some other event in the evening.

Between work and being parent-taxis we’re always looking for great meals that don’t take forever to prep and cook (and minimal dishes is a total bonus)! This easy Baked Tortellini recipe fits the bill perfectly with just 5 minutes of prep and only ONE pan needed!

This recipe actually comes from my good friend Jo’s new cookbook (she blogs amazing food over at Jo Cooks).

Like most pizza dishes, this simple recipe can be modified to your liking by adding in your favorite toppings. We love making this baked tortellini with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, ham… the possibilities are endless. We serve this with a fresh garden salad and bread with garlic butter for a quick and easy meal.

THE RECIPE

Ingredients:

1 ½ lb cheese-stuffed tortellini
2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
20 slices of pepperoni
¼ cup sliced black olives
½ cup sliced mushrooms
Optional: fresh basil

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a large, ovenproof skillet by spraying it with cooking spray or lightly brushing with olive oil.
Add the tortellini to the skillet. Pour the marinara sauce and ½ cup of water over the tortellini; no need to stir.
Top with the cheese, then the pepperoni, olives and mushrooms. Bake for 25 minutes.
Top with fresh basil if desired.
