Creamy Tortellini Bake

i made this when i was freshly postpartum and needed a quick meal. now our daughter is almost 2 and we still have it frequently and she loves it! it’s such a special meal for us

So tasty! Used crushed red pepper instead of red chili flakes, the zest was so good! Thanks for the recipe! Can Be done in one dish!

Tasty

Tasted amazing. Would also like to try it with chicken or ground Italian sausage

So so good! Could eat this every week!

Pretty simple, love that cheese!

Love it.

id only put half block cream cheese next time it also became dry but other than that it was good!

A great quick meal. Tastes amazing!

I've had more interesting meals, but this is something extremely nice to make when you don't have much time on your hands.

Super simple! Definitely recommend using a skillet to save on dishes but overall all simple and delicious!!

This is so good! I only left it in the oven for about 6 minutes so it didn't get dried out and I did not have italian seasoning so I just used garlic powder!

LOVED it!!! Can't say enough about how good it was. Kept it all in my cast iron skillet for one dish usage. Served with garlic bread. Was a hit with the family!

So yummy! They got a little too dry in the oven for my liking, so might add more to the sauce next time

Came out amazing, was just a bit heavy-handed with the chilli flakes.

We were not a fan. Not sure if it was too much cream cheese or what it was. We will not be doing this one again.

too much cheese for my liking

I used half of a Philadelphia cream cheese brick and it was perfect

This is a staple at our house now we have it at least twice a month if not more, 🥰 super easy to make and quick.

Made it with sausage instead of ground beef and it was great. Super easy!

We used a different sauce(mix of hot marinara and garlic sauce)

SOO good! I added some basil and garlic salt too. Was a huge hit! Will definitely make again!

Made it to original recipe with tortellini that I had in the fridge (cheese ) and ground chicken and it was delicious! Love that it makes plenty for leftovers!! I will definitely be making it again! Thanks for the great recipe.

Photo from my husband so it's not that great of a picture, but this turned out amazing. I subbed the red sauce for Alfredo and got the 22 oz bottle instead of regular sized can because the bags of tortellini hold a little more than the recipe calls for. I used my own seasonings (buttery garlic kinders, Italian seasoning, and parsley). Next time I'll want to add spinach or kale and sausage instead of ground beef, but it was just delicious the way it was. I'll definitely make again. Makes good leftovers and it's good with avocado, too.

Note to self: use whole milk low moisture mozzarella for best melty cheese! Otherwise it gets crusty mid meal.

Me and my fiancé saw this on tik tok and just had to try it it’s AMAZING one of our new favorites!!!

Made it for me and my fiance, it was as good as it looks! Can't wait to make it again.

Served it with garlic bread!! Super easy and fast!! I added garlic salt to seasoning also.

Super easy and yummy!

Super easy to make. We made it with mids tomato basil instead of marinara, but it was delicious!

This meal was perfect and a great quick meal for me and my family and was great for leftovers.

I thought the cream cheese was just right but I suggest using a flavored pasta sauce rather than marinara. It's a bit bland with plain marinara. Pretty tasty thought!

My family absolutely loves the recipe. I had to triple the original recipe

So so yummy!! The marinara sauce mixed with the cream cheese made such a yummy and creamy sauce! Baking it for 10 minutes at 350 really brought it all together! Everyone loved it, definitely will make again.

Definitely less cream cheese, I doubled the recipe and used only one block and it was still too much cream cheese I’d recommend half a block if doubling and maybe a quarter if not

Used half the amount of cream cheese and added garlic + garlic powder.

Maybe not so much cream cheese if you don't like as much because I did the recipe exactly and I felt it was a little to much. Definitely good and I will continue to make it. It's also definitely changeable if you don't like spice you don't have to add the red chili flakes

This was really good. I added garlic and next time I'll probably use a bit less cream cheese. But it had great flavor..

Super quick and easy lazy dinner not the healthiest but virtually no prep work and a super comforting filling meal in less than 30mins, used spinach and ricotta tortellini and added chedder and mozzarella on top. Would consider skipping the cream cheese next time think the rest of the cheese more than makes up for it

It was good just to much Italian seasoning it overpowered the flavor I also added minced garlic and a little garlic powder

Great tip about cast-iron skillet, one less dish to wash, and you won't spill while transferring to baking dish. Family loved, except my husband said it could use more garlic. Will definitely do this again.

Maybe not my absolute favorite, but definitely good enough to make again. Garnished with fresh basil.

i’ve made these at least 5 times now and every time it’s a HIT. it’s so easy, my family absolutely loves it and it’s not one of those meals that makes you too tired to eat after cooking. i use my own seasonings outside of what’s in the recipe and its so fun to experiment with!!!!

We loved it! I used half beef half Italian sausage

This was so easy to make and it's so creamy! I added parmesan cheese and it turned out great.

Pretty good, very creamy if you like that 👍

Easy to follow and make!

I added a little onion and mushrooms to the recipe. Turned out great!

I think I dislike it for all the reasons everyone else likes it. It was to thick and creamy for my tastes, but my wife loved it because it was so creamy. My toddler also ate it, and seemed to like it well enough.

Super simple and yummy. Ultimate comfort food.

Loved it! It was easy and my picky kids liked it. Especially the teenager who is the pickiest

Thank you for sharing, it was wonderful🔥‼️

Added onion when browning the ground beef. Added fresh garlic and spinach. Added extra mozzarella to top. Will definitely be making again.

I have made this dish twice now! We love it!! I add a little extra cheese on top to make it extra cheesy!

This was yummy. My kids are picky and ate a little. My husband and I really liked it.

Delicious pasta dish. Was a great way to change up our biweekly pasta dinner.

Made this with chicken instead of hamburger and used mozzarella and chicken tortellini it turned out amazing

Mm mmm mmmm this was great! The cream cheese def made the sauce! I put a little more tortellini in though cuz everyone loves them !

Nice and simple, didn't add the chili for kids

Super easy. I used less cream cheese than called for; next time I will use an extra can of tomatoes for some extra sauce on the side, because it tends to absorb it.

Doubled the meat, baked in a 9x13 casserole dish for about 15-20 mins. Would add more seasoning, maybe do half beef, half sausage

I changed it to my taste. But still easy and quick to make

It was very delicious! I did not add the red pepper flakes due to the kids. Will definitely make again.

Added diced onion, cayenne seasoning and finished with a broil in the oven. 10/10 so dang good and easy! Very filling too will definitely fill up a family of 4!

Delicious! i did it without the red pepper flakes and it still tasted fantastic! left overs are good for 3-4 days afterwards :)

Super easy and quick to make! Tastes amazing as well!

I am from Holland and i saw this recipe on fb. I add also 2 pieces of fresh garlic and 2 onions. We really love this recipe 😍 Even our kids love this. Thnx for sharing. Greetz from Holland

My husband is super picky and doesn't like to try new things. He LOVED this! He even went back for seconds then asked to take left overs to work for lunch. This is a new family favorite and I am definitely adding this to weekly menu. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Chefs kiss!

Absolutely love this dish 😍🤤

I’ve made this multiple times and it is easy to make and it’s delicious! I place the tortellini in a 9x13 baking dish and bake it at 350 for 20 minutes then broil it for a couple minutes. This is also great as leftovers too!

I added onion when I did the hamburger and roasted up some Brussel sprouts and zucchini on the side. Quick and easy. Would make it again

Skip the cream cheese

Pretty good, family is happy with it!

I topped it with some parsley, basil and fennel seeds, and added used a BIG jar of sauce with a half pound of extra meat. highly recommend! almost couldn't stop eating just the seasoned meat, sauce and cream cheese alone! 🤤

Substituted Ground Beef for Turkey and used Spinach Stuffed Tortellinis. Yummy!

It would make leftovers for 2 of us if my other half hasn’t a bottomless pit

Really good. The kids gobbled it up.

Sweet as dinner food!

way too much cheese. unless you love an overpowering cream-cheese taste, id substitute it for something else like ricotta to make it more like a lasagne or ziti. probably wont make again.

If I make this again I would probably cut the Italian seasoning down in half.

I’m a teenager and I made this for my family, it was super easy to make and I’m definitely making it again!

I used Italian sausage instead of beef and half the mozzarella. That being said: easy, simple and delicious and very little cleanup.

Will feed 4-5 people easily. We added mushrooms & black olives & Italian seasoning instead of salt & pepper.

quick and easy.

A hit with the kids! I cooked onions and garlic with the meat before adding the sauce.

So good!!! Lots of flavor! Very easy to make !

Added Parmesan & cheddar as well as mozzarella. A good ‘go to’

It was cheesy and good flavor.

It was good, very cheesy and quick

Used ground pork cuz thats what we had on hand. Wow what a mouthful of delicious!!! My kid kept adding cheese and cheese and cheese.... LOL!

Don't care to use tomato sauce in cast iron because of the acids so used my enameled cast iron dutch over and it was fine. Daughter liked it more than I thought she would.

Just used plain pasta, added some beans and diced tomatoes.

Loved this quick, simple meal! If my son ate mushrooms, I'd definitely add them to this, but it is delicious as it is. Had with a Ceasar salad and garlic bread.

This was great...but what's not to love about beef, pasta, and cheese??!!

This recipe is delicious and so quick and easy. It is very creamy so if you don’t like a lot of cream cheese I’d use less but otherwise it’s a keeper!

My son now asks for this on a regular basis.

Used creamy vodka sauce instead of normal because it’s all I had on hand and it was delicious!! EDIT: I’ve made this so many times now and every time it’s so good :)

This recipe was quick, easy and tasty. I will definitely make this again.

One of my new favorites!

Was amazing great flavor only thing I would do different is less mozzarella cheese

Added mushrooms, onion, garlic & diced tomatoes. Came out really good!

My baby sisters said it was really tasty. Not sure why but they are it with sour cream? Really yummy, especially with that sauce!! It fed 6 people easy...but I don't know how much of the pasta I cooked to be honest.

Right out of the oven. First time making this and will update with any changes good or not so much.

Family loves it

Easy and quick delicious didn’t expect it to be that great. Family loved it

This was really good but I used more cheese than it called for.

This was SO good! Could easily replace the tortellinis with any kind of pasta noodles, but it is a great way to spruce up tortellinis since they can be a little bland. Added a little bit of garlic to the meat. I would really recommend this meal. It was quick and filling and the sauce was so good. My spouse went nuts and said it's probably the best thing I've made so far on Whisk. :)

It was super simple to make and a very affordable meal. Definitely with be making again💜

This dish was amazing. I used Italian sausage and it added so much.

This recipe was very easy to put together and made the whole family happy.

This was a family pleaser!! I will definitely make again.

Looks amazing will definitely be making again

This was delicious. Next time going to double it to have more leftovers for prep cook. Definitely make this again.

YUMMM! Only tip id say for anyone cooking this recipe… if you double it… it makes a ton and you need a bigger dish… if you question it just do it. As you see weeee barley made it. But 100% delish

Came out great!

Made it! Love it! Ate it! Nothing to improve. 10 iut of 10...

Super easy and delicious! Since it’s so cheesy I cut back on the cream cheese, I think it was a good choice. My boyfriend normally hates all things red sauce but loves this recipe! It’s picky eater friendly and easy to customize to your own liking. :)

Forgot to take a photo, but it was really amazing. Both my boyfriend, and bestie loved it!

I wish I had taken a photo but my husband and 2 boys devoured this before I could. So good and yummy. Definitely recommend to those with picky eaters cause my oldest son is and he still loved this!

I used a whole bag of mozzarella (2 cups) instead of the 1.5 cups called for. Added garlic, because we are a garlic family.

So yummy! Definitely will make again!

Doubled the recipe, when I finished I broiled it briefly. Man this is absolutely delicious. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

My family loved it. One of the best I made

I made it a little weird but it was so good

This was so good, My husband asked me to make it AGAIN this weekend!! The kids LOVED it too! I guess it goes without saying, we will be making this again haha

I’ve been wanting to try this for such a long time, and I’m SO glad I did. This recipe had so much flavor and was SO delicious and easy to make! I will definitely be making this many times in the future!! I personally left out the red pepper flakes, but other than that I followed the instructions exactly, and the flavor was out of this world. I served this meal with caesar salad and garlic bread and this made an incredibly easy weeknight dinner!

Made for the family they loved it! Made it also for some friends and it was a hit !!

delicious make once a week, if I could make a suggestion I would add mushrooms and red wine to richen the flavor but other then that go to meal for sure!

I added garlic powder and onion powder to the ground beef, and added oregano after I mixed everything together.

So good! Thank you! I need more recipes like this. I will be sharing your tik tok!

I didn't portion the same as the instructions so I ended up using more pasta sauce than necessary and it kinda overflowed my cast iron. All I would say is portion appropriately so as to keep it in the cast iron, otherwise I wouldn't have had to switch it to a baking dish. Turned out great still and everyone liked it. Fairly simple and took less time than it says. Next time I'll definitely use or make a better pasta sauce for added flavor.

My whole family loved it. My daughter made it for dinner yesterday and my husband said he would love for it to be made again. So that's a win.

Big hit. They couldn’t even wait for me to take a picture!

Very easy to make for a beginner cooker. Added more seasoning and cheese. Dish was delicious. My wife and kids enjoyed it.

Was super delicious, seasoned it my own way then topped with parsley. 10/10

It was absolutely delicious! Will make several times in the future.

I used Italian sausage instead of hamburger and my family loved it!! It’s easy to make and soo good!

Family loved it. Super easy to make. Will definitely make it again!

I added a chopped onion and garlic. Also more seasoning and basil. Makes loads and was really yummy.

It's pretty basic, not gonna lie. But it's easy for when dinner is running late.

Made with both burger and sausage. My tortellini was not good so had to scrap that and change it up a bit so made up some medium shells and made them into a macaroni and cheese. Put the Mac n cheese mixture into a baking dish and spread the sauce over top and added mozzarella. Really good still but hoping to try it with tortellini next time.

Very yummy! Added onion and black pepper to the beef as well as the Italian seasoning.

Was good we added tomatoes, garlic and Basil and more spices.

Super easy! (Added some jalapeño for some kick)

Used Italian sausage instead of hamburger

Cheese is a little Burt but still looks good.

I added veggies (kale, poblano peppers, onions). We used ground chicken. For seasoning I added white pepper & garlic salt. We didn't bake it & just added cheese to the top when we ate.

I used ground turkey instead of ground beef. Super delicious and easy to put together!

It was good but not as amazing as I expected from all the reviews. I think it would be better with Italian Sausage instead of ground beef and maybe some added mushrooms. It's missing something but I'm not sure what. Edit: My kids thought it was amazing so I guess I don't know what I'm talking about. 😋 But it's definitely nice and easy!

Turned out amazing!!

Super yummy. I made it without meat.

Looks good! Smells good. Was easy to make! Tasted great! Definitely will make it again 👍🙂

Delicious!

Loved this recipe! Saw it on TikTok and HAD to make it, it came out great!

Very yummy!! Saw on TikTok but didn’t have the ingredients then….I didn’t use enough seasoning so it’ll be better the next time!!

Nice

My first time cooking anything for myself and my family.

This is really good and easy to make.

I'm going to make this recipe after I get what I need at the store. Thank you for sharing, it looks delicious, and I'm sure my family will also like it. I like to try new recipes and this sounds great.

So easy, so delicious, a huge hit with my family. I baked for 8 minutes and then broiled for the last 2.

This was a easy meal the whole family loved. It is very rich, so I would add 1/2-3/4 block of cream cheese. I also let it broil on low for about 4mins. 🤤

It was so good!!! Definitely making again

Need a larger jar of pasta sauce. I used a 16 Oz jar and it was a bit dry, although still yummy

Delicious, and so easy! A new favorite!

I've made this 2 times so far and it amazing

Very rich but what would one expect with a block of cream cheese in it. Next time I would cut the cream cheese in half.

So so easy and the family loved it!!!

Very very very delicious!

So delicious and easy! Whole family (even picky 4 year old) ate their entire dish! I took a tip from one of the comments to bake for 5 min and then broil on low for 5 min, it was perfect!

This was absolutely amazing!!! I made one small change; I put it in the oven @350 for 5 minutes and then I put it on Low Broil for the remaining 5 minutes. I don’t think it would have changed the flavor much just a preference.

This was so yummy & easy to make.

Doesnt look as appetizing in my photo but this was absolutely delicious and a hit in my family. The Mozzarella cheese was ok so maybe put it on only half of the dish but otherwise amazing. I will make it again

OMG! This is amazing and we will be making for holidays and family gatherings.

Okay. Makes a lot of food and easy to put together, but my son was not a big fan.

awesome and supa yummy

I added a little extra chili flakes and love the slight heat!

Lekker

Super fast. Super yummy. My picky 10 year old had 2 servings. OMG 😱

I made it per the recipe - so good! I will definitely make it again!

Adjusted to be a true one-pot, nice & quick for a weeknight!

Made it!! Added garlic & onion powder while cooking the beef, other than that followed recipe to the letter… definitely a new family favorite!

I made a serving for 10 cause ya know, go big or go home right? 😅 it was fantastic! I did opt out of the pepper flakes. Will definitely be adding this to my list of options. And my picky daughter loved it! ❤️

Instead of hamburger or turkey I used Italian sausage since it already has the same seasonings in it, it was amazing. Everyone at the table was scarfing it down.

We didn’t have pasta sauce so I used a small jar of pizza sauce and a can of tomato sauce. Also didn’t have mozzarella on hand so I used colby Jack. Still amazing!

Used a little less of the Italian seasonings but that’s it! Turned out great, delicious!!

My family absolutely loved it

This was delicious and SO easy! Such a quick meal to make on a day where you don’t want to do too much.

It was good and creamy and cheesey and definitely recommend

Kiddos (2 and 3) love this dish.

Delicious! A new favorite!
