Make a simple yet delicious homemade casserole using store-bought tortellini, tiny Italian dumplings filled with cheese. Boil the tortellini until just cooked through, toss them with marinara sauce, mascarpone, and fresh herbs, top with slices of smoked mozzarella and Parmesan, and bake until done. Four types of cheese, including the one used in the tortellini filling, infuse the casserole with a fantastically complex flavor. Serve the tortellini hot to enjoy the gooey topping.
