As you know, the downside to off-campus life is you have to find time to cook your own meals. 😥.
The good news is this Layered Tortellini Pizza Bake makes cooking seem not so bad.
Make it in a casserole dish to keep the mess to a minimum.
And if you meal prep, you can freeze it for later if you don’t want to cook it right away.
Yes, there might be the odd spot on the dish that needs scrubbing to clean it afterwards – but nothing you can’t handle!
