A comforting and creamy tortellini dish with Italian sausage and fresh tomatoes, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz fresh cheese tortellini
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing them lightly to burst.
  4. Mix in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let this simmer on medium-low for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add fresh tortellini directly into the sauce. Stir gently, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and puffed.
  6. Stir in fresh spinach and wilt for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to soften into the dish.
  7. Scatter mozzarella over the top, cover, and let it sit for 1 minute to melt beautifully.
  8. Top with freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately in wide bowls alongside your favorite crusty bread.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or swap the sausage for mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
