  6. In the prepared baking dish, combine the cooked tortellini and the meat sauce, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.
  7. Spread the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
