Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

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 ½ teaspoons dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup milk
½ cup finely shredded Italian cheese blend
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 (9 ounce) packages tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat; add tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring as needed.
  • Combine cream, milk, cheese, and flour in a bowl. Add to the tomato mixture and return to a simmer. Stir occasionally until reduced, about 15 minutes.
  • While the sauce is reducing, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tortellini and boil gently until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the tortellini. Mix with the tomato sauce and serve.

This was really easy to make and turned out great! I used a jar of Alfredo sauce instead of making my own and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
