Description
A delightful blend of cheesy tortellini and zesty pepperoni atop a crispy pizza crust, perfect for family gatherings and cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- Fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Marinara sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Shredded provolone cheese
- Pepperoni slices
- Fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread a generous amount of marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving space around the edges.
- Scatter the cheese tortellini over the pizza base. If using frozen tortellini, boil them first according to package instructions.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Notes
To avoid a soggy bottom, par-bake the crust for about 5 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
