Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until brown and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and granulated garlic; mix to combine.

Step 2

Pour in diced tomatoes with all the liquid. Add tortellini. Pour in red wine, water, and marinara sauce; stir until well combined.

Step 3

Mix in diced cream cheese and reduce heat to low. Cook until tortellini are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir to blend cream cheese with the sauce.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees C (190 degrees C).

Step 5

Turn off the heat off and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the surface of the pasta dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven uncovered until cheese is melted and golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
