Big Batch Chicken Sausage Tortelloni "Lasagna"

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 30-60 seconds. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan. • Add ricotta to bowl with garlic; mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for garlic over high heat. Add sausage*, onion, and bell pepper; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through and veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes (for 8 servings, cook sausage and veggies in batches). Transfer to a large bowl. • Add marinara to bowl with sausage mixture. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

• Once water is boiling, add tortelloni to pot. Cook until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 8 servings), then drain.

• Add drained tortelloni and reserved pasta cooking water to bowl with filling and sauce; stir to combine. • Transfer tortelloni mixture to a 9-by-13- inch baking dish (two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes for 8 servings). Sprinkle with mozzarella and dollop with garlicky ricotta. • Bake “lasagna” on top rack (top and middle racks for 8) until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly, 8-10 minutes. • Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
