Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
In oven-ready tray, combine cream sauce base, stock concentrate, and ½ cup water; season with pepper. Stir in tortelloni, peas, and garlic powder until thoroughly coated. (For 4 servings, divide ingredients between two trays, using ½ cup water for each tray.)
Drizzle pesto evenly over tortelloni mixture.
Cover tray tightly with foil; place on top of a baking sheet. Bake on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until tortelloni is tender and sauce is bubbly, 25-30 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake two trays side by side on top rack.)
Once tortelloni is done, carefully remove foil (watch out for steam!). Sprinkle panko over the top, then evenly drizzle with olive oil. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until panko is golden brown, 5-7 minutes more.
Divide tortelloni bake between shallow bowls and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many loved the pesto and creamy combination, though some found it bland and suggested adding salt or fresh herbs.
- Ease of prep: Super quick and easy with minimal cleanup — even teens can make it successfully! 🍲
- Suggestions: Add more sauce or water to prevent dry, tough tortellini; some stirred halfway through or used the broiler for crispier panko.
- Portions: Most found the portion size small for two people; adding protein like chicken or sausage helps bulk it up.
- Vegetables: Mixed feelings on peas — some loved them, others preferred spinach, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes instead.
