How Do I Store Leftovers?

…that’s if you have any!

Jokes aside, the tortellini has to be cooled down completely before storing in the fridge/freezer. Once it’s cooled down, transfer it to an airtight container. It can be store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, and the freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat from the fridge, warm it in a 350 degree oven until heated through. If reheating it from frozen, then thaw it out in the refrigerator over night, and then bake in the oven.

What Can I Serve with This Dish?

This Baked Tortellini dish pairs particularly well with salads, garlic bread and even roasted vegetables. If you’re looking for an easy side-dish to accompany this easy dinner, I would recommend:

Be Sure to Brown the Sausage

As per my recipe’s instructions, browning the sausage before adding the sauce enhances the overall flavor and ensures completely cooked meat.
