Description

A healthy twist on the classic French onion soup, this tortellini casserole is rich in flavor and easy to prepare. Perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups thinly sliced onions
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded low-fat Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Combine cooked tortellini with the onion mixture.
  7. Transfer to a baking dish and top with Swiss and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Caramelizing the onions slowly enhances the flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth.
