Directions Cheese Tortellini with Italian Sausage and Mushroom-Spinach Cream Sauce
Directions
-
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned, about 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat, add tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring as needed.
Combine cream, milk, cheese, and flour in a bowl. Add to the tomato mixture and return to a simmer. Stir occasionally until reduced, about 15 minutes.
While the sauce is reducing, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tortellini and boil gently until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the tortellini. Mix with the tomato sauce and serve.
