Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups jarred tomato sauce I used PC Organics Roasted Garlic & Herb
  • 1 cup jarred Alfredo sauce whatever kind is on sale
  • 500 grams fresh cheese tortellini
  • 1/4 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together the two sauces in a medium saucepan and heat gently until warmed through.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the cheese tortellini and simmer for about 5 minutes. While that boils mix your breadcrumbs with Parmesan and shredded mozzarella.
  • Once the tortellinis are done (the 5 minutes are up) drain and add them to the pot with the sauce. Stir gently to coat the pasta and then pour into your baking dish. Make sure the pasta and sauce is distributed evenly in your dish. I used a Corningware quiche dish but any mid-sized baking dish will do.
  • Spread cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the pasta and sauce.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Serve with a nice green salad and maybe a bit of garlic bread if you are going all out. Enjoy!
