Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to coat evenly.
- Pour the tortellini mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. For a golden top, switch to broil for an additional 2–3 minutes.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley.
