I made this for dinner tonight and I am currently inhaling my second bowl. I got some herbs on clearance at the store so mine has fresh sage and rosemary in it. I used a bag of Mediterranean mixed veggies that I had in the freezer and just tossed them in with the tortellini. I did accidentally mix in the cheese right off instead of adding it at the end but it didn’t seem to affect it.

This is very kid-friendly too. My toddler loved it!

I’m sorry I missed your question. Nora shared how she made the casserole with uncooked tortellini below.

Thanks for answering Pam’s question. I was out of town when she asked and missed it. Thanks for sharing a source of frugal tortellini and your version of the recipe. I’m glad it turned out well and that your kids loved it. Kids enjoying a recipe is the best compliment ever!

What I did differently…

Trador Joes has dried bagged tortellini and/or super mini ravioli’s that are awesome and cheap.
They also have a frozen bag of French whole green beans that are delicious, way better than regular yucky Green Giant etc. green beans.

I had all four burners going with my tortellini boiling, my green beans sautéing , frozen carrots boiling, and my four cloves of chopped FRESH garlic sizzling all at the same time.
I did everything else according to directions.

So to answer Pam’s question, I baked for 20 minutes covered then 10 uncovered. It came out perfect! The kids LOVED vegetables for once. It wasn’t too fancy and overdone or too bland either. “Mom, this is delicious!”
FINALLY, I found something with veggies that they wanted second helpings of

This sounds really good, but if you don’t do it frozen –how long would you bake it?
