Cheesy Pizza Tortellini is the perfect fusion of two comfort food favorites — pasta and pizza. With cheese-filled tortellini baked in rich marinara and topped with gooey mozzarella, this dish delivers all the flavors of pizza in a cozy, hearty casserole. Add your favorite toppings, from pepperoni to olives, and you’ve got a weeknight dinner that’s as fun as it is delicious.
What makes this recipe so appealing is its simplicity. Using refrigerated tortellini and a jar of marinara keeps prep time short while still giving you a rich, homemade feel. Once everything is layered in the baking dish, the oven does the rest of the work, filling your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of bubbling cheese and tomato sauce.
It’s also a highly customizable dish. Whether you prefer a classic pepperoni topping, a veggie-loaded bake, or even a supreme-style combination, this recipe adapts easily to your tastes. Plus, it’s a family-friendly option — kids love the cheesy tortellini while adults appreciate the pizza flavors.
