My boys would eat tortellini for every meal if I let them, and do you blame them?

Little pasta pockets of goodness right there that cook super fast for a weeknight dinner!  And I throw in some spinach for good measure!  This is an easy meal we have made again and again!

Ingredients:

1 lb. of ground Italian sausage, ground beef or ground turkey

Tortellini – I usually get the Buitoni 20 oz. all natural three cheese

2 cups of mozzarella cheese, divided

1 package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained or 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce – or this time I had leftover tomato basil soup from this recipe and I used it instead!

Extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook tortellini until al dente (usually 6-7 minutes).

While that is cooking, put a spoonful of evoo in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown your meat.  Season with salt and pepper.

Drain your pasta and meat and mix with 1 cup of cheese, spinach and pasta sauce.

Pour mixture into a casserole dish and put remaining one cup of cheese on top.  Cook uncovered 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and browning on the edges.

Cheesy, hearty comfort food that’s perfect for a cold night!

Enjoy!
