Ingredients
  

  • 20 ounce Buitoni 3 Cheese Tortellini (refrigerated)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cooking spray
  • Buitoni Marinara Sauce for dipping, heat per package instructions
  • Buitoni Alfredo Sauce for dipping, heat per package instructions
  • Buitoni Pesto Sauce for dipping, heat per package instructions

Equipment

  • Sheet Pan
  • Large Bowl
  • gallon zip-top bag
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or tongs
  • small bowls for sauces

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a sheet pan and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs until smooth. Add the tortellini and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated with egg.
  3. In a gallon zip-top bag, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt; shake or mix to combine.
  4. Transfer the egg-coated tortellini to the bag in batches, seal, and shake until all tortellini are evenly coated with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated tortellini in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan without crowding.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each tortellini and bake an additional 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden and crisp.
  7. Heat the marinara, Alfredo, and pesto sauces according to package instructions and transfer to small serving bowls for dipping.
  8. Serve the toasted tortellini immediately with the warmed sauces for dipping.

Notes

  • Use a single layer on the pan for the crispiest result.
  • Shake the bag gently to avoid crushing the tortellini.
  • Cook times may vary slightly by oven; watch for golden edges.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
