Jennifer
ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red peper
- 1 pound purchased cheese (or any other variety) whole wheat tortellini
- 2 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish.
- 2
Measure out the sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme in a large bowl.
- 3
Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes.
- 4
Drain. Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. The heat from the pasta will melt the cheese and help the mixture blend smoothly.
- 5
Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- 6
Top the mixture with the sliced mozzarella and parmesan.
- 7
Cover and bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheeses on top melt, about 30 minutes.
- 8
Serve as a side or the main dish with some warm bread.
