Description

This is not a traditional Italian dish but it does use ingredients associated with Italian food. Nowadays greens may be considered a Southern thing, but my dad remembered his Italian born mother cooking greens while growing up in New Jersey. He never did tell me what kind of greens she used, so I can’t say. But in his household eating greens was common. Hope you enjoy my spin on a few of my favorite ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces, weight Package Frozen Tortellini
  • 2 cups Spaghetti Sauce
  • 2 cups Cooked Or Leftover Greens, Well Drained
  • 2-½ cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
  • 1-½ cup Ricotta Cheese
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg

Preparation

Cook tortellini per package directions and drain well.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Spread 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce in a 9×9 (I used a 7.5 x 9.5) or similar sized dish. Evenly spread the 2 cups of cooked greens on top of the sauce.

Cover the greens with the tortellini.

After reserving ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella mix the remaining ingredients (2 cups mozzarella, ricotta and nutmeg) in a bowl.

Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the tortellini.

Spread the remaining 1 cup of spaghetti sauce over the cheese. Top with the remaining mozzarella.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-8 more minutes.
