Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb turkey sausage casings removed, hot or sweet
- 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce in jar; I like Classico Four Cheese
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cup chicken broth low-sodium
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (20 oz) pkgs. three cheese tortellini refrigerated
- 4 cups spinach roughly chopped, packed, fresh
- 3 Tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
- black pepper freshly ground
- 3 Tbsp basil chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in an extra-large skillet or a pot over medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and saute 30 seconds then add sausage break it up a bit and cook, stirring and breaking up sausage occasionally, until sausage has cooked through.
- Add in marinara sauce, tomatoes, chicken broth and water and bring to a light boil.
- Add in tortellini, toss and press tortellini down into sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, then cover and simmer until tortellini is cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Stir in spinach and parsley, season with pepper to taste (season with salt only if needed, if you used the brand I mentioned you likely won't need it) and toss gently to allow spinach to cook through and wilt.
- Stir in basil and serve warm.
