One Tortellini Bake

This main dish comes together in under an hour and the best part, it cooks in one pot. Serve with crusty garlic bread and a nice green salad if desired.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground beef
  2. 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  3. ½ teaspoon salt
  4. ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  5. 1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  6. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  7. 1 cup water
  8. ¼ cup cabernet sauvignon (or other dry red wine)
  9. 1 (16 ounce) package tortellini
  10. 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  11. 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until brown and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and granulated garlic; mix to combine.
  2. Stir in marinara sauce, diced tomatoes with liquid, water, and red wine until well combined. Reduce heat to low; add tortellini and cook until warmed through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. Add cream cheese to tortellini mixture and stir gently to blend; sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the surface.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
