Oven-Baked Ham and Pea Tortellini 4 Ingredients

 Ingredients:

• 1 package (about 500g / 20 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
• 1 ½ cups cooked ham, diced into small cubes
• 1 ½ cups frozen green peas
• 2 cups creamy Alfredo sauce (or any white pasta sauce)

 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven m

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
This ensures even cooking and a creamy baked texture.

2) Mix everything together

In a large mixing bowl, add:

• the tortellini
• diced ham
• frozen peas (no need to thaw)
• Alfredo sauce

Stir well until everything is fully coated in the creamy sauce. Make sure all ingredients are evenly combined.

3) Prepare the baking dish

• Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or oil
• Pour in the mixture
• Spread it evenly so it bakes uniformly

4) Bake it

• Cover the dish with aluminum foil
• Bake for 20 minutes
• Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until bubbly and slightly golden on top

5) Rest and serve

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes after baking.
This helps the sauce thicken and makes serving easier.

 Final result:

You’ll get a rich, creamy baked pasta dish with:

• soft cheesy tortellini
• savory ham
• sweet green peas
• a smooth, creamy Alfredo sauce

 Optional upgrades:

• Sprinkle mozzarella or Parmesan on top before baking
• Add black pepper or garlic powder for extra flavor
• A pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick
• A splash of milk if the sauce is too thick

 Tips:

• Don’t overbake or the pasta may dry out
• Frozen peas go in directly—no need to cook them first
• Add a little extra sauce if you want it extra creamy
