Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 8 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. • In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta and 1 tsp oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan 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, garlic powder, and stock concentrates to bowl with sausage mixture. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Add tortelloni and 1⁄3 cup water to bowl with sausage mixture and sauce; stir to combine. • Transfer tortelloni and sausage mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes for 8 servings). Dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella. • Bake on top rack (top and middle racks for 8) until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly, 10-12 minutes. • Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve tortelloni bake family style directly from the baking dish or divide between plates and serve.
Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

- Ease of prep: Simple to prepare, but many found the tortelloni undercooked. Try boiling the pasta separately before baking.
- Suggestions: Add extra marinara sauce for more moisture. Bake 10-15 minutes longer to ensure it's heated through and pasta is tender.
- Leftovers: Several mentioned it reheated well, with some even preferring it the next day 🍲.
- Texture: Some found the dish dry; consider adding more sauce or cheese for a creamier consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
Hubby loves spaghetti--so he loved this! Love how easy it was to prepare. I did add a little more tomato sauce (didn't seem like it had enough) and mozzarella (because we like it really cheesy). I would bake it longer next time.
It tasted fine but the instructions as followed left the tortellini undercooked and dried out in the oven. In the future I would have cooked the tortellini separately and then hit the oven just to warm it up and melt the cheese.
Yum. Very tasty, family pleaser. Plenty of leftovers, with the size of this dish.
This came at the right time when we had visitors. Large enough to feed everyone & they all loved it. Easier & just as good as lasagna.
Not enough moisture to hydrate the tortellini. Also, needs to bake for another 10-15 minutes; it was barely warm in the middle after 15 minutes. I probably wouldn't order this one again.
Would have preferred more sauce/ricotta, it was a little dry. Very strong green pepper flavor.
The tortellini was a bit crunchy. Not sure what I did wrong while cooking because I followed included instructions.
Delicious! I LOVE the double serving meals. They save me on busy weeknights <3
Loved the portion size but the pork was a bit overwhelming.
Instructions were a little confusing and made it possible to miss small steps.
