Instrucciones

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium. Add Italian sausage and cook 8 minutes until beginning to brown, breaking sausage apart into small crumbles. Add onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt; cook 5 to 7 minutes, until sausage is cooked through and onion is tender. Stir in marinara sauce and tomatoes and let simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil, then stir in tortellini until evenly combined.

Transfer tortellini mixture to prepared baking dish. Place mozzarella slices on top and sprinkle with Parmesan. Tightly cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

Bake 25 minutes or until pasta is heated through and bubbly at edges. Garnish with more chopped fresh basil before serving.
