Ingredients

For the gnocchi

• 1 (8.8-ounce) package  Tortellini
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion or shallots
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 (15oz) jars Vodka Sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh chopped basil leaves

Method

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook on a gentle boil for 14 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large oven-safe sauté pan (such as cast iron or stainless steel) over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes.
• Add spinach and cook until wilted, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Season veggies with salt.
• Stir in vodka sauce and tortellini. Cover the pan with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and stir the tortellini. Scatter mozzarella over top and place back in the oven, uncovered, for 5 more minutes.
• Heat the broiler to HIGH and broil for 2 to 3 more minutes for a golden topping. Garnish with fresh basil.
