 FAQs about this Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini Lasagne Recipe

What kind of tortellini should I use for this recipe?

You can use the dry or fresh fridge kind from the supermarket. I used 2 x 250g packs of Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini.

Is this a vegetarian pasta recipe?

Yes, it is if you use the same pasta I have used, or a different meat-free option (eg. three cheese; tomato and cheese).

If you’d prefer to add some meat to this recipe instead, use a meat-filled tortellini (eg. ham and cheese; chicken and bacon).

How do you make this Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini Lasagne?

Cook the pasta for about five minutes, adding the spinach to the saucepan near the end.

When done, put in a shallow casserole dish. Meanwhile, mix up the sauce ingredients of passata, garlic powder, oregano, honey, tomato puree and salt and pepper.

Pour the sauce over the pasta and top with mozzarella. Put under the grill for about five minutes until golden.

What can I serve this meal with?

You can serve this up on its own for ease, but if you’d prefer to add some sides, stick to a simple green side salad and perhaps some garlic bread.
