Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet, stirring them in until tender—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the marinara sauce and heavy cream, stir well, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a large casserole dish, combine the sausage mixture with cooked tortellini. Stir to combine all those flavors.
- Top the casserole with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Baking
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
