A comforting and flavorful baked pasta dish combining cheesy tortellini, spinach, and a creamy sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Cook the tortellini in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Cooking the tortellini just until al dente ensures they won't become mushy during baking.
Defrost the spinach and squeeze out excess water.
Removing excess water from the spinach prevents the casserole from becoming watery.
Combine the tortellini, spinach, and diced tomatoes in a baking dish.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the mixture.
Feta cheese adds a tangy flavor that complements the creamy sauce.
In a bowl, mix the sour cream, grated cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mixing the sauce ingredients well ensures a smooth and creamy consistency.
Pour the sauce over the tortellini mixture and gently mix.
Gently mixing the sauce with the tortellini prevents breaking the pasta.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Baking until golden ensures a deliciously crispy top layer.
Serve hot and enjoy your meal.
Serving the casserole hot enhances the flavors and textures.
