- Step 2: Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Step 4: Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, then top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes
- For best storage, allow the baked tortellini to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container; it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, cover the dish with foil to keep it from drying out, and warm it in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Serve your Million Dollar Baked Tortellini with a fresh side salad and garlic bread for a complete meal that’s sure to impress! For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the tortellini mixture before baking.
