Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled
3 cups spaghetti sauce
½ cup water
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 (20 ounce) package fresh cheese tortellini
1 cup mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add crumbled sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is browned and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce, water, and Italian seasoning. Add tortellini and mix well.

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over tortellini.
  • Place skillet under broiler and cook until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for high-quality sausage, tortellini, and vegetables.
  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the pot. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to your dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the tortellini. Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Conclusion:

One-pot tortellini and sausage is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and tortellini. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
