Ingredients

– 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
– 15 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating a Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Skillet is both easy and enjoyable. Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Garlic: Once the sausage is fully cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Stir in Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and release their juices.

4. Introduce Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine all the flavors. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

5. Add the Tortellini: Stir in the tortellini, ensuring they are well coated with the creamy sauce. Cook according to package instructions (about 3-5 minutes), allowing the tortellini to heat through.

6. Add Cheeses: Once the tortellini is cooked, reduce the heat to low and mix in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Stir until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce.

7. Season to Taste: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to your liking. Mix well to ensure all flavors are well-distributed.

8. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat, and if desired, garnish with fresh basil to add a pop of color and flavor.

9. Serve: Ladle the delicious Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Skillet into bowls or plates and enjoy immediately!

With these straightforward steps, you’ll have an amazing dish ready to enjoy in no time.
