Ingredients
- 11 ounce Italian sausage (crumbled)
- 3 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 9 ounce cheese tortellini (refrigerated)
- 2 cup spinach (loosely packed, fresh)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, to taste)
Instructions
- Take the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it into a skillet. Cook it over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it's browned. If there's a lot of excess fat, drain most of it. Leave the sausage in the pan.
- Add the garlic, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, cream, and tortellini. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the tortellini is cooked and the sauce has reduced to your liking. Cooking the tortellini in the sauce helps thicken it (it releases starch).
- Stir in the spinach and let it wilt.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve with fresh parmesan sprinkled over top if using.
