Photo: Cheesy Baked Tortellini Recipe
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 pound purchased cheese tortellini
- 2 ounces thinly sliced smoked mozzarella
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish.
Whisk the sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme in a large bowl to blend. Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top the mixture with the smoked mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheeses on top melt, about 30 minutes.

I made this recipe exactly as it was written, and it was okay, but there are few things I would do differently if I decide to make this again. I would get chicken tortellini in lieu of cheese and cook it longer than the 2 minutes suggested (box says 7-9 minutes. I didn't really care for the smoked mozzarella taste, so next time I'll use regular mozzarella.

Just made this again last night for dinner and it was delicious. I have no idea how anyone could possibly say it was bland. I used regular shredded mozzarella instead of smoked and we preferred it that way. Made it once before with smoked and the family didn't care for it.

This dish was delicious! I didn't care for the smoked cheese, so i used shredded mozarella/provolone instead. One of my children is extremely picky and hates "the green stuff" which is herbs, but he ate 2 helpings! This is the first time i've had marscapone, I live in the country and not many places has it. I plan on adding it to anything i possibly can, it's divine! Thanks Giada, I love all your recipes and you've really inspired me to start cooking!!!
