    Recipe overview

    This recipe comes together in just a few steps. Here is an overview of how to make this tortellini bake, full instructions and recipe quantities are at the bottom of this post in the recipe card.

    You will start by browning the onions and the beef. I like to add salt and spices at this point so the beef has flavor.

    The next step is to mix the beef and the marinara sauce. While the beef finishes cooking, boil the fresh tortellini accordingly to package instructions.

    Lay the cooked tortellini and add some of the Alfredo sauce, the meat sauce and cheese.

    Repeat the layering process until you use all the ingredients. Top the last layer with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese and bake until golden brown. Garnish with some basil and serve.

    Substitutions

    You can make the substitutions you'd like to this baked casserole.

    Use ground chicken or turkey instead of ground beef.

    Add more veggies such as spinach or kale to this casserole to make it a more well rounded dish.

    Storage and reheating instructions

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    Keep in mind the pasta will keep absorbing the liquids and when reheat the dish might be a bit drier in texture than when it is eaten fresh.

    To reheat, use the microwave in the 30 second intervals until warmed through. I usually heat up for about 1 minute.
