A quick and tasty main dish is what I have for you today! This Easy Tortellini Bake is a great go to quick meal that I usually have all of the ingredients on hand to make!

I guess technically, you could even use this as a side dish if you like. This recipe is similar to the Slow Cooker Pesto Ravioli recipe I have shared before but with 3 main differences.

1. This is not made in the slow cooker, but is baked in the oven.
2. This recipe uses less ingredients, one of which is not meat.You only need 5 ingredients to make this one. This dish is meatless which is why it could even be used as a side.
3. This dish doesn’t use ravioli, it uses tortellini.

As I suspected, my family loved this dish and told me I can make it as much as I would like to!
