I love quick and easy pasta recipes because most people love them, and they can feed a crowd without a ton of work. This Oven Baked Mozzarella Topped Tortellini recipe has a homemade tomato sauce to make things a little healthier, and it requires only a mixing bowl, spatula, baking dish and just 5 minutes of prep time. This would be great with a fresh salad and some warm bread!

Here are some tips for making my Oven Baked Mozzarella Topped Tortellini:

  • I like to buy the refrigerated packages of fresh cheese stuffed tortellini. If you would rather use, or can only find the dried or frozen versions, that will be fine as well.
  • Fresh mozzarella is considerably better than the pre-shredded version to me, but you can use that as well if that is all you have on hand. For once, the cheese really isn’t the star of the show in this dish!
  • This is a great dish to serve to a crowd! If you have an extra large baking dish, feel free to double this recipe!

These are the ingredients you will need for this easy pasta recipe:

  • Tortellini
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Italian seasoning
  • Diced tomatoes
