Description
Easy One Pan Beefy Tortellini Bake is a hearty, cheesy one-pan dinner that delivers juicy beef, tender tortellini, and bubbling melted cheese in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (24 oz) jar pasta sauce
- 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add tortellini to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can use any short pasta shape in place of tortellini if desired.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to taste with the onion and garlic.
- Leftovers reheat neatly in the microwave or on the stove; the dish may thicken as it rests.
- To keep cleanup minimal, use an oven-safe skillet that can go directly from stove to oven.
