Easy weeknight meal of tortellini with Italian sausage, basil pesto, spinach, and mushrooms for a delicious Italian-inspired dish.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 (8 ounce) package baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio), divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 10 ounces mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 (16 ounce) package three-cheese tortellini
  • 14.5 ounces Alfredo basil sauce
  • 1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
Instructions:
  • In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, melt butter until sizzling. Sauté mushrooms with 1/2 cup white wine and 1 clove minced garlic until the liquid reduces and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl once done.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, stirring occasionally and breaking it into bite-sized portions. Drain excess grease on paper towels before returning sausage to the skillet.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms to the skillet with the sausage, then toss in the tortellini, Alfredo basil sauce, the rest of the white wine, and leftover garlic. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach, cover, and cook until wilted, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix everything well, then dish up and enjoy!
