I bought my favorite 5-cheese tortellini at Sam's Club last week and I knew I wanted to make something with them so I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and decided to add sausage to it. It was a huge hit with the family. Very tasty!
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package cheese tortellini
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¾ cup milk
¾ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, spinach, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to bubble.
Whisk milk, cream, and flour together in a medium bowl. Add to the saucepan along with Parmesan; stir together. Cook until sauce is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes.
Drain tortellini, but do not rinse. Gently add to the saucepan and stir to coat with sauce.
