Tortellini and Spinach Bake

This was a really lovely, albeit slightly indulgent, treat! I used a 19 oz bag of tortellini, canned tomatoes, one 10 oz pack of spinach (more than enough IMHO), fresh mozzarella and grated parmesan for the "cheese", reduced fat sour cream, and milk for the single cream. Oh, and I realized at the last minute that I had purchased sundried tomato and basil flavored feta, and it was delicious in this! I stirred everything all together and baked it that way, and I think it worked out just fine. Thanks for posting! Made for Healthy Choices ABC tag.

We really liked this pasta dish. I thought it might be a little plain but was surprised how everything went together really well, and it had alot of flavor. I used two 9oz frozen packages of spinach and 4 large roma tomatoes with the skin left on. It all fit nicely in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Thanks for posting!

Delicious!!! This is a great assembly meal. I prepped everything ahead of time and when I got home from work, I simply poured the sauce over the pasta and baked. I made a few changes. I used two tomatoes instead of four, along with a small can of sliced mushrooms. Since husband doesn't like feta cheese, I sprinkled some parmesan instead. Finally, to save a few grams of fat, I used 1% milk rather than cream. This recipe is definitely going in the cookbook! Thank you for posting! Will be making this again.

This was good!! I used a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, 8 oz of grated medium cheddar and 8 oz of grated mozzarella. After I poured the sauce over the tortellini/spinach/tomato mix I simply stirred the cheeses in and sprinkled a little on top. Baked 30 minutes at 400 F and it was great. The only change I might make going forward is to cut back on the spinach some; it was a lot of spinach. On the other hand my kids both ate it so..... :)

I'll add my own GREAT review to all the others. I have made this twice now - exactly as instructed - and it was perfect! So, SO delicious! The first time I made it, it was for 6 people, and I was nervous at the very last minute, because I thought: 1lb of pasta for 6 people?? Will there be enough? But there was plenty, as the sauce is quite rich and the tortellini very filling - I will definitely be making this again! And for anyone who is curious, I used grated Swiss for the 200g grated cheese . . .

Sinful! I made this using shredded mozarella cheese in place of the Feta, but other than that exactly as the recipe state and it was amazing. Very rich and flavorful, and EASY. This has been put in our dinner menu rotation. Thanks for posting!

Once again, my picky DH didn't like this but me and my 18 month old LOVED this! I did make a few changes: I used little round cheese raviolis instead of tortellini, half and half instead of cream (that's just what I had on hand), I cooked the garlic with 1/4 cup onion in a little olive oil before adding it with everything else, and tossed in a handful of broccoli as it's my toddler's favorite vegetable. For the grated cheese, I used half mozzarella and half swiss. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks!

Incredibly tasty! I made this exactly as posted, except I used fire-roasted diced tomatoes and garlic and herb-flavored crumbled feta. Really simple and easy to put together and delivers big flavors. Thanks for sharing!

This got a huge "MMMMM!" noise from my boyfriend at the first bite! We like things a little spicy so I added some chopped peppers and onion in with the spinach. I also left the skin on the tomatoes since I despise peeling tomatoes. :) Turned out great! Thanks!

Very good flavor, visually appealing, but very heavy and rich!

This dish was delicious, but very, very rich. Maybe everyone else has more common sense than me, but it's not for those with lactose intolerance. Because of the combination of sour cream, heavy cream, and lots of cheese, I was sick all night. So fellow lactards- avoid!

This was delicious, the whole house smelled wonderful! I followed the recipe except I substituted sun dried tomatoes and added 2 TS Pesto and some pine nuts. This is a great baked pasta dish and will be made often!

This was amazing! I am not usually a "tweaker," but I did tweak this. I think it would have been awesome as written too though. My husband hates sour cream, so I made it with creme fraiche instead. I also used 1 lb of broccoli instead of the spinach because I was serving another dish with spinach. I am probably going to dream about eating this all night. So easy, so beautiful, and SOOOOO yummy!

Oh my holy goodness! Pasta, spinach, garlic, cream, cheese... food nirvana. Love it! Subbed sun dried tomatoes (lessened the amount of course!) Added more garlic than called for and used coarse ground garlic salt in the cream sauce. Subbed milk for the cream. Food of the Gods. Ambrosia isn't fruit... it's this delightful concoction!

This was FANTASTIC!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! I cut the recipe in half and used canned diced tomatoes but otherwise I followed it exactly. This is one that I'll trot out when I want to impress somebody! Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow, this dish is a winner. I took the advice of many reviewers and actually was able to piece it together with various measurement changes. I first used green onions instead of regular. I also used 1 cp of half and half as the cream and a mix of parmesan and mozzerella cheese. I threw in some grilled chicken pieces as well. I placed all the ingredients (except the mozzerella cheese) in a bowl and mixed it thouroghly. Then placed it in two baking dishes. I sprinkled the dishes with a mixtre of mozzerella and parmesan and then baked it. Boy, was it delicious. I got rave reviews from all who enjoyed the dish. Thanks for posting.

Yummy! Based on what I had available I used 300g tortellini (cooked 10 min), 400g spinach (cooked til wilted), 4 tomatoes, 1.5 cups yogurt (for sour cream), 1 cup cream, mozzarella, no feta, skipped garlic this time. It made one 8x12 dish.

Not to say it wasn't totally enjoyable -- but not quite "knock-your-socks-off" -- the fate of most mixed pasta dishes. I changed the recipe to US and 1/2 -- got some strange numbers. What I did was -- 1/2 package 3-cheese tortellini, 1 can slightly drained petite diced tomatoes, 1 package frozen spinach leaves -- thawed and squooze, 3-4 cloves minced garlic, about 4 ounces crumbled feta, 1 cup of smooth ricotta cheese (in place of the sour cream, about 10 ounces Half&Half (in place of misingle cream (?), and added about 8 ounces package chopped grilled chicken pieces -- all well mixed. Topped with a handful of grated mozzeralla cheese. This was the result of some odds and ends in the frig. Description SO right -- makes a ton ! Changed sizes of casserole X2 ! Was VERY tasty for my need-some-soothing-mix, served with 1/2 baguette, warmed in the oven, and some nice Sicilian red wine. Guess I significantly changed your recipe - but was good as a base, Thanks, for posting, Sylvie .

Great recipe. Very rich and filling. When I pulled out the sour cream, I only had a 1/4 c. so I just added more cream instead. Turned out great. Thanks Sylvie!
