This is a recipe from Everyday Italian (Giada) on the Food Network. Can I just say that she is pretty enough to be a model? And don't you love how they play the porn music whenever she takes a bite of anything and moans about how good it is? :-) It cracks US up. Yes, I said US, she is one of Jason's favorites too, even though he wouldn't eat most of what she makes. This recipe is AMAZING, really good. Make sure that you chop your fresh herbs well or it will look like spinach throughout your pasta- which actually sounds good, but not with herbs.
Cheesy Baked Tortellini
Ingredients
Olive oil
2 cups marinara sauce
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 pound purchased cheese tortellini
2 ounces thinly sliced smoked mozzarella
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish.
Whisk the sauce, mascarpone cheese, parsley and thyme in a large bowl to blend. Cook the tortellini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Add the tortellini to the sauce and toss to coat. Transfer the tortellini mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top the mixture with the smoked mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover and bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheeses on top melt, about 30 minutes.
You're right about the music... I never thought of it that way though. You crack me up. I've been reading through all your recipes tonight after reading about the Silliman experience. Guess your love for meat was penned up all those vegan years. I'm really impressed with all your cooking, especially being pregnant, going to school, working, and being a great mom and wife.
