Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Add water to a large pot over medium-high heat; once the water starts to boil, cook the tortellini by following the recommended time on the package, usually 5-7 minutes. Cook for 1-2 minutes less than the recommended time. Drain and return the tortellini to the pot. Add the pesto and stir gently until combined.
- In the meantime, place a large skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil.
- Slice the sausages and add them to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sausages start to brown. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- Add the browned sausages, tomatoes, spinach, and cheese to the pot with the tortellini. Stir well but gently so as not to crush the tomatoes or the tortellini. Save a little cheese, about 1 cup, to top the casserole.
- Add a little olive oil, about one tablespoon, to a 9-inch casserole dish. Add the tortellini mixture to the casserole, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top layer looks golden—light brown.
- Serve and enjoy.
