Tortellini Bake with Boursin & Tomato

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 Boursin cheese (garlic and herb)

1 8-10 ounce Container Cherry tomatoes

2-3 cloves Fresh Garlic (crushed or minced)

1 Tablespoon High quality olive oil (drizzled)

Salt and Pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper)

2 Tablespoons Fresh chives

1 Cup Fresh basil

1 20 ounce (Family Sized Package) Tortellini of your choice (I used Buitoni 3 Cheese Tortellini)

2 Large Handfuls Fresh spinach

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F and set rack to middle position. Place the Boursin in the center of your ceramic baking pan. Add your baby tomatoes followed by your crushed garlic. Drizzle your olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the fresh chives and basil (alternatively, you can add the fresh herbs after baking). Bake at 400 F for 30-35 minutes.

When your tomatoes and Boursin are almost done baking, prepare your tortellini according to the instructions on the packaging.

After you have finished baking your tomatoes and Boursin, use a meat masher or fork to break the tomatoes and Boursin apart. Add in your fresh spinach and mix until everything is well combined. Add in your drained and cooked tortellini. Mix again until the tortellini is covered in Boursin and everything is well combined! Enjoy!

Hint: To prep efficiently, boil the tortellini while the mixture bakes. I use refrigerated cheese tortellini, Buitoni brand that takes just 5 minutes.

Hint: Add chicken sausage or rotisserie chicken to this dish to add some additional protein to the dish and to make it more balanced. Serve with a side salad for some additional fiber and nutrients!
