Creamy Italian Sausage Tortellini

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Continue until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Add Onion and Garlic

Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft.

Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Sauce

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and sprinkle in basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.

Step 4: Stir in the Cream

Slowly pour the heavy cream into the sauce while stirring.

Let it simmer for another 3–4 minutes until the sauce becomes rich and velvety.

Step 5: Add the Tortellini

Cok the tortellini separately according to the package instructions, then drain.

Add it directly into the creamy sauce and stir gently to coat every piece.

Step 6: Melt the Mozzarella

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet with a lid.

Let it sit for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts into gooey perfection

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

This dish pairs wonderfully with garlic bread or a crisp green salad!

For a little heat, sprinkle some red chili flakes over the top before serving — it gives your creamy tortellini an extra kick
