Ingredients
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 20 oz five cheese tortellini pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 handfuls spinach roughly chopped
- 1.5 cup chicken broth
- ½ onion diced
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil, and ground Italian sausage.
- Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage and cook until golden brown—about 5–6 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion, red bell pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the cooked sausage back to the pan.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then add tortellini. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat.
- Add in spinach and season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 6–7 minutes, until the tortellini is cooked through.
- Turn off the heat, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, serve hot and garnish with more freshly grated Parmesan.
