This is a quick and easy meal for any day or
occasion.
It’s definitely a quintessential Italian dish.
Recipe from Giada De Laurentiis' "Everyday Pasta"
Ingredients:
2 cups marinara sauce
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley*
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme*
1 pound purchased cheese tortellini (I found mine in the refrigerated
section)
2 ounces thinly sliced smoked mozzarella (You can get it from the
deli)
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* For the spices, I just used dried and eye-balled the amount.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350OF. Lightly oil an 8 x 8 x 2 inch baking
dish or 4 individual gratin dishes. (I only used three, but there was enough
for four.)
Whisk together the marinara sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and
thyme in a large bowl. Cook the tortellini according to package directions and
add to the sauce. Toss to coat.
Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dish or
dishes. Top with the smoked mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Cover
the dish or dishes with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for
an additional 10 minutes, so the sauce is bubbling.

I also cooked some green beans and drizzled
with olive oil and sea salt as a side.
