Follow The Directions

01

Step

3 mins

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook until they float to the top and the filling is heated through, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

02

Step

5 mins

While the tortellini cooks, brown the diced sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the edges are nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

03

Step

1 mins

In a saucepan, combine Alfredo sauce, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine.

04

Step

5 mins

Warm the sauce over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, about 5 minutes. Add the browned sausage and cooked tortellini to the sauce. Gently toss to coat.

05

Step

3 mins

Cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until everything is heated through. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a high-quality Italian sausage.
A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a pop of color and a subtle kick to the finished dish.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese tortellini, such as spinach and cheese or mushroom and cheese.
