Beefy Tortellini Skillet
This Tortellini Skillet recipe from How Sweet Eats makes for an incredibly easy, delicious, and hearty weeknight dish! Grab some beef from Black Creek along with a bit of T&R Dairy’s fresh mozzarella and Costantini’s Marinara sauce to whip together this mouth-watering comfort meal. You can even throw in some chopped zucchini, fresh herbs, or other seasonal veggies if you’d like!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- kosher salt and pepper
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces your favorite marinara
- 12 ounces cheese (or spinach) tortellini, cooked
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn apart
- parmesan cheese, for topping
- fresh basil, for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef. Season it with a big pinch of salt, pepper, the and basil and oregano. Break the meat apart until it is in small crumbles and browned.
Stir in the marinara sauce and reduce the heat to low. Cook the tortellini for 3 or 4 minutes (according to the package directions) and immediately drain it, then add it to the meat sauce. Gently stir with a spatula to incorporate the tortellini without breaking it.
Tear apart the fresh mozzarella and sprinkle it over the beef and tortellini.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly and cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan and fresh basil to serve!
