Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Garlic Butter Tortellini

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a dab of butter.

2. Boil the tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for 2 to 3 minutes less than package instructions until barely tender. Drain thoroughly.

3. Make garlic butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat.

4. Toss pasta: In a large bowl, toss the drained tortellini with the garlic butter and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese until well coated.

5. Arrange and top: Spread the tortellini in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pour any remaining garlic butter from the bowl over top, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.

6. Bake until golden: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly crisp, the butter is bubbling, and the cheese topping is golden brown. Tip: Broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end for an extra-crispy crust.

7. Rest and serve: Let rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes so the cheese sets, then serve warm, spooning any extra crispy bits and garlic butter over top.
