Cheese Tortellini Pepperoni Pizza Casserole

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Tortellini
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions (usually 3–5 minutes for fresh). Drain and set aside.

3. Mix It All Together
In a large bowl, combine:

• Cooked tortellini
• Pizza sauce
• Half the pepperoni
• Half the mozzarella cheese
• Optional: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor

Stir until everything is evenly coated.

4. Layer in the Dish
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella, Italian cheese blend (if using), and remaining pepperoni slices.

5. Bake Until Bubbly
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.

6. Rest & Garnish
Let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
