Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium Onion diced
- 2 medium garlic cloves minced
- ½ pound Italian Sausage casing removed if using links
- 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 3 Cups Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 12 oz frozen tortellini not thawed
- 3 cups Baby Spinach fresh
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup fresh Basil leaves roughly chopped plus more for garnish
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet with a lid, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic and saute until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add the Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until brown and mostly cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the sliced cherry tomatoes, marinara sauce, and beef broth.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Add the frozen tortellini and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and cook to the lowest time on the tortellini package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes.
- Uncover and stir in the baby spinach and heavy cream.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, keeping in mind that parmesan will add additional saltiness to the dish.
- Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
- Serve immediately!
- Enjoy!

Notes
To easily cut cherry tomatoes in half, place the tomatoes between two deli lids and press down lightly with the palm of one hand and slice through the tomatoes all at the same time with a serrated knige between the two lids.
