Please read my disclosure policy. A super easy, 15-minute prep, ONE SKILLET tomato tortellini with sausage. This is an easy family-friendly meal! Comfort food on Mondays. It’s a new thing that I’m going to be keeping up for-ev-er. Especially after having sick kiddos (and husband) all last week. This is just the meal to combat that crazy ever-changing Spring weather (seriously Utah, pick a season and stick to it ?) or just the general Monday blues. Although I’ll admit, I actually love Mondays. New fresh start to the week and lots to get done. I’m ready! ?? It’s no secret that we love tortellini. It’s been in quite a few recipes here and to be honest, it’s probably our dinner at least every other week. We LOVE tortellini. For some reason the toddler thinks it tastes like pizza (I guess the cheese inside?) and he calls tortellini “mini pizzas” which actually sounds like: “min-knee peet-zas.” I’ve got to get some of the words he says recorded before he grows out of it. And I know just about every single toddler pronounces yellow like “lellow” but I just about die every time Grey says the word. Since our tortellini dinners are generally just boiling the noodles and serving them with a red sauce, I thought it was time to make something a little more interesting. BUT it still had to be just about as easy. And this is totally just that! It’s so quick to assemble and the taste is well worth the extra 10 minutes of effort (as opposed to just boiling noodles!) AND it only takes one big skillet to make. Less dishes is another thing that your Monday needs. So let’s just break this down to just how easy it is: ✔️Saute the onion + garlic in olive oil and then add in the sausage. Cook through. ✔️Stir in the UNCOOKED tortellini, spinach, spices, tomato sauce, and cheese. ✔️Bake for 20 minutes. ✔️DEVOUR. Yes, it’s really that easy! ? FOLLOW ALONG!

I saw on Instagram this recipe was coming up so I was waiting for you to post it because in our home we also loooove tortellini!! Thanks for sharing this recipe, my friend! I looks awesome. Have a lovely week 😉 Reply
This looks so amazing! Def going to make it tomorrow. So sorry, but I’m not 100% from the directions if it is cooked in the oven or stovetop for 17-22 minutes. I’m thinking oven but it doesn’t specifically say. I just don’t want to mess it up! Thank you 🙂 Reply
Thanks so much for your question, I clarified the instructions to hopefully make more sense 🙂 I hope you enjoy this dish! Reply
Ok, never mind!!! I just went a reread the whole post. The commentary part makes it clear it is baked! Sorry. I just skipped down to the recipe part where it seemed a little unclear! You can totally scratch my comment 🙂 Reply
Amazing sausage, we usually use coconut oil for cooking. Got any taste difference while doing so,instead of olive oil as per said in ingredients of this recipe? Reply
Could you use dry packaged tortellini instead of frozen? Or cook them first and add them when hot or room temperature? Thanks in advance! Reply
If you use the dry tortellini cook it first to al dente and then add them in at room temperature. Enjoy 🙂 Reply
