This tortellini recipe is so irresistible, the whole family was stealing bites straight out of the pan on the stove. One pan meals are huge right now. No one likes to spend hours cleaning up the kitchen after spending time cooking dinner, right? This meal though? I would happily wash a whole lot of pots and pans to eat this sausage and tortellini skillet again.
Lucky for both of us, this deliciousness cooks up in a single skillet, making cleanup a breeze.
What Is Tortellini
Tortellini is a fun little pasta. Similar to ravioli, tortellini is typically filled with cheese, vegetables, or meat. Most commonly found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, it might also be found in the freezer, or sometimes with the dried pasta as well. (This particular recipe is written for the most commonly used refrigerated style of tortellini pasta.)
How To Cook Tortellini
Tortellini can be boiled like dried pasta, simmered with a sauce in a pan, or sautéed on the stove. Tortellini can even be baked. My boys have been on quite a tortellini kick lately, requesting it almost every time I’m meal planning.
Sausage Tortellini
I made this Sausage Tortellini Skillet for a super-fast late-night dinner and Sean asked if it was already on the blog. I knew it wasn’t, but I didn’t realize that I didn’t have a single tortellini pasta recipe on the website. How is that even possible? Keep an eye out for a few more of our favorites in the next few months. I started this blog years ago to save my family’s favorite recipes in one handy place, so these recipes all need to be here too!
