6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ white onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1 cup Lactantia cream cheese
  • 1 ¼ cup Galbani parmesan cheese, divided
  • 18 oz fresh tortellini
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 ¼ cup Cracker Barrel shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat olive oil in a shallow oven-safe casserole dish over low heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until soft.
  3. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the spinach and add it to the pan. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Stir in the cream cheese and 1 cup of the Parmesan until fully combined.
  5. Add the vegetable stock and pasta. Cover the dish and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and uncover. Stir to evenly coat the pasta. Top with mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan.
  7. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  8. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
