Sheet Pan Broccoli Tortellini Bake | 20g Protein Per Serving
A cozy, protein-packed sheet pan dinner with cheese tortellini, broccoli, cannellini beans, marinara, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, all baked until bubbly and golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a large sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, cannellini beans, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Fold in the refrigerated cheese tortellini and broccoli florets, tossing gently until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture across the prepared sheet pan in an even layer, making sure the broccoli is nestled into the sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the top, then finish with the parmesan cheese.
- Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, the sauce is bubbling, and the broccoli is tender with lightly browned edges.
- Broil for 1 to 2 minutes if desired for a more golden top.
- Scatter the chopped fresh basil over the hot bake, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Cut broccoli into medium florets so it cooks at the same rate as the tortellini.
- If your marinara is very thick, add 2 tablespoons of water for a slightly saucier finish.
- Cottage cheese can be used instead of ricotta if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
