Ingredients

  • 2 Italian sausages, removed from casings and crumbled

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tomatoes, diced

  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach

  • 2 cremini mushrooms, chopped

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup milk

  • ½ cup finely shredded Italian cheese blend

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 (9 ounce) packages tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini

Directions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned, about 10 minutes.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
