Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  6. Stir in cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until tortellini are tender.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
