- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Ricotta cheese

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce and heavy cream. Stir until well blended.
Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce mixture and gently toss to coat.
In the prepared baking dish, spread half of the tortellini and sauce mixture evenly.
Dollop half of the ricotta cheese across the tortellini. Follow by sprinkling half of the Parmesan, mozzarella, Fontina, and provolone cheeses on top.
Layer the remaining tortellini and sauce mixture over the cheese layer.
Dollop the remaining ricotta cheese on top, followed by the rest of the Parmesan, mozzarella, Fontina, and provolone cheeses.
Dot the top evenly with small pieces of cream cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
