Easy, Low Calorie Chicken Tortellini Alfredo: Olive Garden Copycat
Ingredients
- 1 (9 oz) package cheese tortellini, see shopping tips
- 1 (15 oz) jar light Alfredo sauce, see shopping tips
- 1½ (~6 oz) cups chicken breast cooked and diced
- 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped fine
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup reduced-fat cottage cheese, I like Knudsen’s
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup light mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9 X 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Cook the tortellini al dente (two minutes less than the time given on the package). Drain.
- Place tortellini in a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, carefully stir in Alfredo sauce, diced chicken, spinach, tomatoes, cottage cheese, and garlic powder until combined.
- Place mixture in baking dish. Spread out to evenly distribute. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over pasta to cover. Then sprinkle Parmesan cheese all over top.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and light golden brown on top.
- Cool slightly before cutting into 6 servings. This casserole freezes great.
