Description

We are firm believers that more cheese is always the answer, and while a baked cheesy pasta is well and good, a baked cheese-filled tortellini dish is even better. You’ll coat your tortellini in a classic mac ’n’ cheese sauce, gussied up with roasted garlic for pungency. You’ll broil it until the aged cheddar starts to bubble and you just can’t wait any longer to dig in. Serve it with a salad of baby greens and beets, just so you can say you ate your veg.
