This Tuscan Tortellini is wonderfully drenched sauce. Savory, flavorful, robust sauce.
I habitually take classic dishes and have a touch party with putting fun spins and twists on them. i really like putting dashes of affection and private touches into foods my family and friends mmmm over.
And that circles us back to the present Skillet Tuscan Tortellini. Cheesy tortellini is an always welcome food.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 lb bulk Italian sausage (no casings)
- 1 1/2 cups Bertolli pasta sauce
- 1 (14oz) can Italian diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 19 oz frozen cheese tortellini
- 3 cups baby spinach, torn to bite size
- freshly ground black pepper
- freshly shaved/shredded Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a very large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Stir constantly until fragrant, 30 seconds. Push mixture to the edges of pan and add sausage into the center of pan. Cook and break up sausage; once it’s half-cooked, stir together with the vegetable mixture and continue cooking until browned.
- Add pasta sauce, tomatoes with juices, chicken or veggie broth, and half/half. Stir and bring to a simmer. Add frozen tortellini, stirring to submerge tortellini in the sauce. Cover and simmer until tender, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add spinach and stir just until wilted. Add 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste.) Serve immediately with freshly shaved/shredded Parmesan cheese.
