Ingredients
  

1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. If using, add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it wilts.

      Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet along with the marinara sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

        Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the tortellini mixture in the skillet.

          Bake (Optional): If you prefer a baked version, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the skillet in the oven (ensure your skillet is oven-safe!) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

            Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Tortellini Delight!
