For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini to the sausage mixture for added flavor and nutrition. If you don't have fresh tortellini, dried tortellini can be used. Adjust the cooking time according to package directions. For a richer flavor, use a combination of mozzarella and provolone cheese. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
