Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Tortellini: Follow the package instructions to cook the frozen cheese tortellini. Typically, this involves boiling them in salted water until they are al dente. Once cooked, drain the tortellini and set them aside.
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini with the basil pesto. Make sure the tortellini are evenly coated with pesto. Then, gently stir in the halved cherry tomatoes.
Assemble the Bake: Transfer the tortellini mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
