Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage (casings removed)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: red pepper flakes, white wine for deglazing

Instructions

  • Brown sausage in a large pot until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  • Add onion and cook 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  • Deglaze with white wine if using. Add tomatoes, broth, and seasoning. Simmer 10 minutes.

  • Add tortellini and cook 4–5 minutes until just tender.

  • Stir in cream and spinach. Cook 2–3 minutes more.

  • Taste and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and half-and-half.

  • Store tortellini separately if prepping ahead to prevent sogginess.

  • Great with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
