This tortellini is cooked in a rich and spicy sausage sauce which all comes together in one pot!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n For how hearty and delicious this recipe is, I think you’ll be shocked at just how easily it comes together. Follow me…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When I say ‘sausage tortellini’ I’m referring to the sauce that the tortellini is cooked in, not the filling. We’ll be using a cheese filling, which we’ll get to in just a sec!<\/p>\n We don’t have the widest selection of minced\/ground sausage meat in the UK, so I typically use the meat from inside a pack of sausages<\/strong>. I typically go for a neutral flavour<\/strong>, but you could experiment with different flavours (bonus points for anything herby\/Italian). You can of course use minced\/ground sausage meat if that’s what you have. My friends across the pond, I imagine Italian sausage will work great here.<\/p>\n We’ll start with a base of shallots and garlic<\/strong>, just to inject some flavour into the sauce. You’ll want to sweat them down for a couple of minutes, then you can add in the sausage. Try and get a nice crust on the sausage (more caramelisation = more flavour).<\/p>\n Process shots: fry shallots (photo 1), fry garlic (photo 2), add sausage (photo 3), fry (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For this recipe we’re going to be cooking the tortellini in the pot with everything else, as opposed to boiling it in a separate pot and then incorporating it. I also realised as I typed that out that it might be obvious given the ‘one pot’ title 😅<\/p>\n This is a great method for a few different reasons:<\/p>\n The sauce is made from chopped tomatoes<\/strong>, stock<\/strong> and cream<\/strong>, then flavoured with tomato puree<\/strong>, chilli flakes<\/strong>, parmesan<\/strong> and parsley<\/strong>. I also love stirring through some spinach<\/strong> at the end!<\/p>\n Process shots: add in tomato puree, chilli flakes, chopped tomatoes, stock and cream (photo 5), stir (photo 6), add tortellini (photo 7), stir and simmer (photo 8), stir in parmesan and parsley (photo 9), stir in spinach (photo 10).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I use 1 tsp chilli flakes, which give it a good punch of spice (but it’s certainly not overbearing). You can work to taste though!<\/p>\n I usually buy 2 packs of tortellini from Sainsbury’s which is literally called ‘Cheese Tortelloni’. It’s got an awesome flavour and is very affordable. I have tried this with Spinach and Ricotta, which is more widely available and also works nicely.<\/p>\n It’s not as easy to stir (unless it’s small) but it’ll work just the same!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once the sauce has thickened and the tortellini is al dente, serve it up right away with more parmesan, parsley and chilli flakes if desired!<\/p>\n I don’t typically serve this with any Sides<\/a>, although Garlic Bread<\/a> is always welcomed with a dish like this.<\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this one pot sausage tortellini shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nSausage Tortellini<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
