Sausage and Tortellini

Recipe

• In a large saucepan, heat up olive oil on medium heat.
• Add in the bell peppers, onion and cook them for a few minutes. 
• Add in the minced garlic and sausage, stir and continue cooking for a couple more minutes. 
• Add in the cajun seasoning, salt and pepper and stir. 
• Next up comes the tomato paste and chicken broth. Stir, stir, stir until the tomato paste is all reduced down and it’s a liquidy broth. Bring to a boil for a few minutes. 
• While that’s bubbling, boil the tortellini for a few minutes until done and then drain. 
• Give the saucepan a stir and add in the heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce. Stir and continue to cook on medium. 
• Fold the tortellini into the sausage mixture and slowly stir so the sauce doesn’t spill out, but you want to coat all of the noodles.
• Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and slowly stir again. Let it all melt and then serve!

When it comes to weeknight meals, I love making it in one skillet. It’s easy clean up and the flavors all really come together nicely when the whole meal is cooked together the whole time. This dish is cheesy, packed with delicious sausage and crunchy peppers.

And you know, I used my Always Pan for this. It’s nonstick, a great size for a family of four. To keep the dish colorful, I include alllllll of the beautiful bell peppers, but if you prefer just red or just green, go for it. 

For the protein, I used polska sausage, but you can use chorizo if you prefer. This dish is really versatile so whatever goes! Add in some sliced jalapeños to the peppers even!
