baked tortellini with spinach
This recipe uses my marinara sauce – if you prefer to use jarred marinara, that’s ok too! Your stats might vary though.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups cheese tortellini I used frozen
- 1 ¼ cup of my marinara sauce divided if you use jarred, calories and points will vary.
- ⅓ cup part skim ricotta
- 2 oz part skim mozzarella
- 1 oz grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
- ½ medium onion diced
- 8 oz bag of fresh spinach
- olive oil spray
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- kosher salt
- ¼ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- cook the tortellini in boiling water. I cooked mine for 2 minutes to not overcook it, since it will cook more in the oven later. drain the tortellini.
- toss the strained pasta in 1 cup of marinara to combine and set aside. meanwhile sauté the onion in a frying pan for a couple of minutes until translucent.
- add the garlic, spinach, and ¼ tsp kosher salt, and cook until the spinach is just wilted.
- remove from the pan and set aside. mix the ricotta with ¼ tsp each of dried basil and dried oregano, and fresh parsley, if you have.
- stir to combine. add this mixture to the spinach and onion mixture.
- in a greased baking dish, (mine shown is 1.4 qt), add a layer of ½ the tortellini, followed by the entire bowl of the spinach and ricotta mixture, followed by the other half of the tortellini.
- cover with remaining ¼ cup of marinara. sprinkle the top with the mozzarella and grated cheese. bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

I’ve made this several times and it is delicious! Thank you, Steph!
Delicious! I thought there was no way I could do tortellini and have it be point friendly, but here we are. Paired with a salad, this is excellent!
This was so delicious. Served with a side of roasted asparagus. So happy to find pasta that I could work into my points!
