Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup regular or heavy cream
- 9 ounces tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, loosely packed
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. When the oil is very hot, add the onions.
-
Squeeze the sausage from the end of the link to remove it from its casing and add directly into the pan. Use a spatula to break up the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned.
-
Reduce heat to low, then add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add broth, tomatoes, cream, and tortellini to the skillet. Stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a boil.
-
Cover, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until tortellini are tender and heated through. Taste the sauce and add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. I used 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Add spinach and stir until softened and wilted. Remove from heat and serve.
