Ingredients

  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic paste
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasonings
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced plus more for topping
  • 2 pounds frozen tortellini
  • 2 cups frozen peppers and onion mix
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or larger round casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • To the dish add the marinara, water, seasonings and herbs. Stir to combine.
  • Next add in the frozen tortellini and frozen vegetable mix.
  • Stir until evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Sprinkle with more parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

  1. You can add meat to this recipe if you like, just add a little bit more sauce to compensate for absorption.
  2. I have never made this with fresh pasta or vegetables and I don’t believe they can be
    evenly swapped due to the water content. This dish NEEDS the water from the frozen ingredients in order to cook the pasta properly.
  3. Dish may look slightly dry/sauce doesn’t cover the noodles all the way before baking, this is normal.
  4. Frozen ravioli could also be used in this recipe.
  5. 3 cups of homemade marinara sauce could be used instead of store bought.
  6. An equal amount of minced garlic can be used instead of paste or you could use 1/2 tsp of garlic powder as well.
  7. This can be frozen, please read notes above on how to do that.
