There’s no boiling necessary in this pasta appetizer or snack. All you need is a hot oven, store-bought fresh tortellini, an egg, and some cheese. Save time by serving the crispy pasta with your favorite warmed marinara (instead of making the cheese sauce).

Ingredients

Store bought cheese tortellini without sauce

9 oz, refrigerated

Egg

1 item(s), large, large, whisked

Grated Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup(s)

Dried oregano

1 tsp

All-purpose flour

1 Tbsp

Fat free skim milk

1¼ cup(s), divided

Shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

⅔ cup(s)

Dry mustard

1 tsp

Paprika

¼ tsp, sweet variety

Table salt

¼ tsp

Cayenne pepper

1 pinch(es), or to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss tortellini with egg to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano, and toss well. Arrange in a single layer on prepared pan. Bake at 400°F until browned on bottom, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn tortellini over and bake until browned on bottom, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, to make dipping sauce, whisk flour with 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Heat remaining 1 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming. Add flour mixture to pan and cook, whisking constantly, until sauce bubbles and thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in mozzarella, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and cayenne (if using).
  4. Serving size: about ½ cup tortellini and 3 tbsp sauce
