Step 3: Mix together the tortellini, sauce, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and a few pinches of salt in the skillet. Give it a good stir so that all the cheese and spices is mixed throughout.
Step 4: Grease a small baking dish and add the tortellini mixture, spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 5: Top the tortellini with the shredded mozzarella cheese in an even layer.
Step 6: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the tortellini at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and is bubbly.
