One-Pot Tortellini and Sausage Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe yields 4 servings.

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

Directions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2: Stir in the spaghetti sauce, water, and Italian seasoning. Add the tortellini to the skillet and mix well.

Step 3: Bring the liquid in the skillet to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender.

Step 4: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the ovens broiler to low.

Step 5: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the tortellini.

Step 6: Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Cook's Note: If you prefer not to broil, you can simply cover the skillet and let the residual heat from the pasta melt the cheese.
