Cheesy Tortellini & Meatball Casserole

This is a Pintest it! original recipe idea. I thought this one up all on my own, when I was scrounging around trying figure out what to make for dinner. This casserole was pretty simple to put together. Here's what you will need: 1 jar of Spaghetti Sauce, 1 bag of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, 1 large package of fresh Three Cheese Tortellini (such as Buitoni), about 20 frozen Italian Style Meatballs and I also used a cup of Ricotta Cheese (not pictured). 

 I started out by boiling the the tortellini for about 3-5 minutes, just to get them softened up. Drain the water from the tortellini. Then, I cooked the meatballs for about 5 minutes in the microwave. In a 9x13 baking dish combine the tortellini, meatballs, spaghetti sauce and about a half cup of the mozzarella cheese together. Then, I thought it would taste good with a little ricotta cheese. So, after I mixed all the other ingredients together, I took a spoon and dropped a few dollops of the ricotta cheese on top of the other ingredients.

 Finish by covering the top of the casserole with the shredded mozzarella cheese. 

 I baked this casserole in the oven for about 30 minutes on 375. 

This turned out to be quite delicious. It was so cheesy and wonderful. This casserole has some lasagna-like qualities. Only you don't have to go through all the trouble of layering the noodles, cheeses, etc.
In this recipe I used the Three Cheese Tortellini. However, you could use any flavor of tortellini that you like.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did.
