I love to cook for my family. What I don’t like is all the clean up that is required afterwards! That’s why this type of recipe is my absolute favorite: Creamy, cheesy pasta that takes minutes to cook and only requires one pot! But if you don’t mind having a few extra dishes, this entree would be great with a side of fresh green salad and hot, buttery bread sticks. Pair it with a Pinot Noir.
Creamy Tortellini and Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 lb package of Turkey Kielbasa
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 20 oz. package of refrigerated Tortellini
- 28 oz can of whole tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth or water
- Pinch of salt & pepper
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded jack and cheddar cheeses
Instructions
- Cook the onion in a little olive oil until soft. Add sliced turkey sausage and cook until browned. Add chicken broth, tortellini, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Turn heat down to low, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked to al dente. Remove from heat and add cheeses, reserving a handful for topping. Cover and let stand for five to ten minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
