One-Pot Cheesy Tortellini and Burnt Ends Bake

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and red pepper flakes. 

Add mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers and garlic and cook for 1 minute.



Stir in all of the burnt ends, water, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and all spices. Bring to a simmer. Simmer gently uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.



Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350ºF.



After 5 minutes, stir in ½ cup Parmesan and uncooked tortellini. Stir until well combined.

Stir in 1 cup mozzarella then top with remaining cheeses.

 Cover with the lid or foil and bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes. Remove foil and broil cheese until golden brown.
