Tortellini Bake

Casseroles and Bakes are so perfect for weeknight meals – I know I have said this before but it bears repeating because it’s true. And sausage and pasta make a great combination but it doesn’t always have to be in the Italian food profile. By using some different spices and flavors you can easily make something new. You gotta try this Tortellini Bake with your family soon – mine devoured it.

You can use any flavor of sausage you like. I used a garlic sausage – but a roasted red pepper would be really good too. You could also use a tortellini with more than just cheese in it or even the kind with spinach in the pasta. The sauce is the real star of this dish. My husband has already asked me to use it the next time I make a mac and cheese dish. The chili powder and cumin really give it a nice little kick.

This bake was enough on its own to make a meal but you could certainly do a side of garlic bread and/or a green salad. I had hoped to have some leftovers for lunch later in the week but the boys stopped just short of licking the dish clean – lol!

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
