This recipe for Baked Tortellini Alfredo will change the way you think about freezer cooking! If you’re pasta fans, this is about to become one of your family’s new favourites. oval casserole dish filled with tri colour tortellini in a white sauceThe first time we attempted a baked tortellini freezer meal, we didn’t get the flavours right and it was a bit of a miss, but we were not deterred. We could see right away the potential to create a delicious meal that was quick and easy to make.

Enter our experiment phase. We tried many variations of our original tortellini bake and finally found the winner. 

This Baked Tortellini Alfredo can be made ahead as a freezer meal and doesn’t require you to pre-cook the noodles. (read that again if you missed the significance – no boiling water, cooking noodles, draining noodles, extra pot and strainer to clean!)

There are also many variations you can make to this recipe so you’re able to choose the flavours you know your family will like best. Depending on what you decide to mix in, this can also be a vegetarian freezer meal. tortellini in a white sauce in a square bowl and oval dish

Baked Tortellini Alfredo Recipe:

  • 1 lb. cheese tortellini (we like the tri-colour rainbow one)
  • 2 jars Alfredo sauce (I use Classico because I like their jars as mason jars afterwards!)
  • 1/2 – 1 cup of your chosen mix-ins* (in these pictures, I used sliced mushrooms and frozen peas)
  • 1 cup shredded mozza cheese
  • 1/4 cup shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese

*Examples of mix-ins:

  • cooked cubed chicken and 2 Tbsp. of pesto
  • sliced mushrooms and frozen peas
  • crumbled bacon and sundried tomatoes
  • sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts
  • browned Italian sausage

The nice thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to boil the pasta. It cooks right in the dish.collage of photos of making baked tortellini with alfredo sauce

Assembly instructions:

  1. Add everything except the Parmesan to a 9×13 baking dish or casserole dish. Stir. If you prefer to save space in your freezer,  you can add it to a large resealable freezer bag and squish to combine.
  2. Top with the Parmesan. 
  3. Cover with two layers of aluminum foil, one that is directly on top of the pasta so there isn’t as much air in the container.
  4. Freeze.

Cooking instructions:

  1. Remove from freezer.
  2. Bake at 375° for 30-40 minutes or one hour if still frozen. If frozen, remove foil for the last 10 minutes of bake time.
