Creamy One Pot Tortellini With Sausage Favorite Family Recipes

This one-pot tortellini is a great meal for when you are in a hurry and need to get dinner on the table quickly! Especially this time of year when the kids are back in school, I find myself always falling back on these types of dishes. This cooks up in less than 30 minutes and has everything you need in one pot. If you love one-pot meals, try my other favorite one-pot meal: Teriyaki Chicken Bowls.You can be as creative as you need with this dish. I love the creaminess of the sauce. If you want to make it even cheesier, sprinkle some mozzarella over the top right before serving. If you are watching your calories, use fat-free cream cheese. There is so much flavor already in the dish, you will hardly be able to tell you used the fat-free. And since you can load it up with different veggies, it’s a great way to get some of those vitamins and minerals into your kids’ bodies (and yours!) without really noticing.

Oil – Heat your oil in a pan before adding in sausage to saute. Use either vegetable, canola, or olive oil. Smoked sausage – Cut and slice the kielbasa into even pieces. This will ensure that the Italian sausage cooks together at the same time. Garlic – We love garlic and the flavor enhancers that it brings to a dish. This weeknight meal needs a touch of garlic to make it perfect! Broccoli florets – You can use just broccoli as the vegetable in this dish, or you can use a “garden mix” of veggies that includes broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. We have also used squash, zucchini, onions, and peppers before. Tortellini – Pasta is a bonus to this family-friendly main dish! It is a lighter, fuller pasta that has a soft texture when biting into it. Plus the cheese inside leaves you feeling comforted and whole. Tomatoes – Slice and chop your tomatoes into small pieces. Tomato sauce – Added to the pan for flavor and a creamy tomato sauce flavor. Chicken broth – More liquid will simmer together giving flavor to the red sauce being created. Basil – You have to have seasonings and herbs thrown into this beautiful Italian dish! Fresh basil is a delicious flavor that blends the ingredients. Oregano – A savory and sweet seasoning that helps boost and balance the flavors together in this one-pot meal. Parmesan cheese – This is the parmesan cheese that comes in a tube-like bottle with a green lid. It is a powder substance of grated cheese. Parmesan cheese will thicken giving a delicious flavor to the sauce. Cream cheese –Gives thickness to the creamy sauce and flavor.
