Ingredients
Scale
- 20 ounce cheese tortellini
- 2 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In the prepared dish, add the cheese tortellini and pour in 1/2 cup of hot water. If using, sprinkle the frozen peas and crumbled bacon around the tortellini.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the tortellini and gently mix everything together, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Top the Alfredo Tortellini Bake with the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, distributing it evenly across the dish.
