Tips:

  • Choose the right tortellini. Fresh tortellini will cook more quickly than dried tortellini, so adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you are using dried tortellini, be sure to cook it until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a variety of sausage. Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or even chorizo can be used in this recipe. Just be sure to cook the sausage until it is browned and cooked through.
  • Add vegetables. Chopped spinach, kale, or diced bell peppers can be added to the pot along with the tortellini and sausage. This will add extra flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar, Parmesan, or Asiago cheese will give the dish a rich, cheesy flavor. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini. Tortellini is a delicate pasta, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy.

Conclusion:

One-pot cheesy tortellini and sausage is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage or tortellini. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
