5 Ingredient Tortellini Bake Recipe

Warm, hearty, this rustic dish is the perfect recipe to ease you into fall cooking.

Super quick and insanely delicious, this classic dinner only has five ingredients and is ready in less than thirty minutes.

There’s nothing I love more than a good weeknight pasta. Not only that, but I love taking store-bought items like this tortellini and making them my own, taking them from boxed to bougie! With a deliciously rich ground turkey marinara sauce, a hint of pesto, and a generous coating of mozzarella, this deceivingly simple and impossibly delicious dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
