Tortellini and Kielbasa (AKA Tortelbasa) image

I invented this when I was only 13 years old to make for my younger brother..ever since it has been a family favorite. There are many ways to vary this recipe..my brother is now a vegetarian and uses a meat replacement. Saute peppers and onions with the kielbasa, or a drained can of sweet corn. You can also add more or less of...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pkg family size tortellini
1 pkg turkey polska kielbasa or vegetarian sausage, sliced into half moon shape
3 clove chopped garlic
3 pinch dry oregano
3 pinch dry basil
3 pinch dry parsley
3 pinch dry thyme
2 pinch crushed red pepper
salt
fresh cracked pepper
olive oil, extra virgin
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Kielbasa: In a large skillet heat up olive oil, place sausage in and brown..it is already cooked so you are just browning and heating through. Turn down heat, add garlic and spices.
  • 2. Pasta: Boil in salted water..I'm pretty sure directions say for 7 minutes..I normally only do it for 5 or 6..I HATE over cooked pasta and it cooks a little more once you mix it into skillet with kielbasa. Once cooked strain and add to skillet with sausage. Toss around on low heat for several minutes. Turn off heat and add cheese to taste. If it seems a little dry add a drizzle of olive oil.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tortellini and kielbasa. It's also very easy to make.

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible. The tortellini was mushy and the sauce was watery.

This dish was very bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

The tortellini was a little overcooked, but the kielbasa and sauce were very good.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used Italian sausage instead of kielbasa and it was still delicious.

This dish was a hit with my family! The tortellini and kielbasa were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
