  4. Lower the heat and gently fold in the cooked tortellini and pizza sauce, stirring to unite all those delicious flavors.

  6. Finish off by adding slices of pepperoni on top.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy goodness of your Pizza Tortellini!

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider using a homemade pizza sauce. Sneak in some vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for a nutritious boost. Pair this dish with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
