Delicious cheese tortellini and savory sausage smothered in a rich creamy tomato, spinach, and mushroom sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 2 Italian sausages, removed from casings and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 cremini mushrooms, chopped
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup finely shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 (9 ounce) packages tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini
Instructions:
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage until nicely browned, for about 10 minutes.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and stir in tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer and stir occasionally until well combined.
  • Mix together the cream, milk, cheese, and flour in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the tomato mixture and let it simmer again. Stir occasionally until it reduces, which should take around 15 minutes.
  • As the sauce thickens, heat a large pot of boiling water. Cook tortellini until tender, approximately 6 minutes. Drain and toss in tomato sauce before serving.
