Yield 4

Ingredients:

½ onion – sliced (approximately 1 cup)

½ zucchini – sliced (approximately 1 cup)

½ package tortellini of choice (we are using the 5 cheese, whole grain store bought fresh)

315 ml pasta sauce – diluted with cold water so it is runny

1 ½ cups mozzarella & cheddar cheese – grated  

¼ cup pecorino romano cheese – grated for garnish

Cook Tortellini in boiling water for 5 minutes until just before tender. Avoid overcooking or the tortellini will be mushy.

Cover with diluted pasta sauce & remaining mozzarella/cheddar cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbling.
