Well, here we are again, settled back into our September schedule which is filled with school, soccer practice and it always seems some other event in the evening.

Between work and being parent-taxis we’re always looking for great meals that don’t take forever to prep and cook (and minimal dishes is a total bonus)! This easy Baked Tortellini recipe fits the bill perfectly with just 5 minutes of prep and only ONE pan needed!

This recipe actually comes from my good friend Jo’s new cookbook (she blogs amazing food over at Jo Cooks).

30 Minute One Pot Meals… WHAT?! I know right… 30 minutes AND only one pot, I’m totally all over this! I mean, I really really love this book because it’s loaded with so many great weeknight dinners. The best part is that each recipe is on the table in 30 minutes without a huge stack of dishes! (Oh, and you’ll definitely want to try the Sriracha Chicken Zoodle Lo Mein.. with just one dish! It’s one of my favorites!)

Ok, back to the recipe at hand here. I’m super excited to share this pizza inspired baked tortellini recipe with you because it’s so quick to make and everyone in my family loves it… the best part was that there is no need to pre-cook the pasta!

This recipe uses tomato sauce but making this pizza baked tortellini with meat sauce is the perfect meat lovers pizza pasta!

Like most pizza dishes, this simple recipe can be modified to your liking by adding in your favorite toppings. We love making this baked tortellini with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, ham… the possibilities are endless. We serve this with a fresh garden salad and bread with garlic butter for a quick and easy meal.

This dish is great the day you make it and it’s delicious leftover too should you be lucky to have any left!
