Tortellini Al Forno

This tortellini and cheese sauce dinner is on the table in less than 30 minutes. The sauce makes it special!

Here’s a great “hurry-up” dinner that’s also special enough to serve to guests.

Fancy hurry-up meal

Thanks to the convenience of refrigerated tortellini, this goes together in no time and tastes thoroughly gourmet too.

Serve as an appetizer or main meal

I was surprised at all the varieties  available in my store–and under the house brand too!

Rich cheesy sauce

The Italian sausage variety was used here, but you have lots of varieties to choose from and the sauce is so versatile, that you could use practically any flavor.

The asiago sauce is very intensely cheesy. If you want a little less kick, use half the amount of cheese.

Uses store-bought refrigerated tortellini!

As for the mushrooms, if you don’t do them, leave them out–it’s totally delicious without them. But if you do add the mushrooms, try to use a flavorful variety such as baby bellas or criminis. If you only have the regular white, they are fine too! Canned can be used in a pinch, but I don’t really recommend them. The flavor you get from caramelizing the fresh cannot be duplicated with canned.

    Looks like you scattered some cooked and crumbled pancetta and fresh parsley over finished dish. Perfect.

    Parsley is the freshest–I grow my own–of course on this, Italian flat leaf 🙂 I'd love to say it's pancetta, but it's just plain old bacon!

      This looks delicious! Is the cream in the recipe whipping cream or like half and half? Thanks!

        I used heavy cream Linda, but you can use half and half, it should work fine, but the sauce may be slightly thinner.
