Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 20 oz fresh cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup Italian cheese blend

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • 9x13 baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and the beef, sprinkling with salt and garlic powder. Break into small pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat if desired. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Spray a high-sided 9x13 baking dish with olive oil spray. Add the tortellini, half the marinara (about 1 ½ cups) and ¼ cup water, tossing to cover the tortellini in sauce, then spread into an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle the spinach in a layer, then add the cooked beef in another layer.
  5. Evenly spread over the remaining marinara (about 1 ½ cups), then sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes covered or until browned, bubbling, and the tortellini is cooked to your liking. Optionally, uncover and bake or broil for 5 minutes until browned on top.
