One Pan Creamy Tortellini & Sausage

One Pan Creamy Tortellini & Sausage is the new go-to dinner at our house! By now you may have caught on to the fact that I’m a huge fan of frozen cheese tortellini.

Through the years I’ve posted other EASY recipes using this wonderful staple. The ultimate combo is when you have a ONE PAN meal and it contains cheese tortellini…that’s what I call a win-win!

My 6-year-old daughter almost cried when I told her I’d eaten the leftovers for lunch one day. She was hoping she could have them for dinner that night (talk about mom guilt, ugh).

 

 

Fast forward almost 5 years and I decided to update the picture of this recipe. Truth be told as a food blogger I try out so many new dishes in my kitchen that I often forget about my old tried and true recipes. 

Well, let me tell you I won’t be forgetting One Pan Creamy Tortellini & Sausage anymore. My youngest daughter who truly is such a fussy-eater had two servings of this meal. Now I will disclose she opted not to try the sausage, but that’s just fine, maybe she’ll venture that direction next time.

I used a preferred sausage brand that our family enjoys, but substitute for whatever you enjoy. I’ve made this with a delicious organic Polish Kielbasa and it was simply amazing.

 

 

This meal will soon become the go-to, “I’ve got 30 minutes to get dinner on the table, and we’ve eaten pizza twice this week” meal … trust me! Friends, I wouldn’t lead you wrong on this one, it is one delish meal.

One pan dinners will save your sanity, embrace them. I love meals where I can use one pan, one pot, one sheet pan, one casserole dish, and save myself from scrubbing multiple vessels all evening. 

 

 

Watch your local grocery store sales, you can pick up packages of frozen cheese tortellini at really great prices. Keep a bag or two in your freezer. This meal isn’t only yummy, it is easy on the budget too.

Serve with some garlic bread and a salad and dinner is complete. And yes, I’m making this again as soon as next week, as requested by my family! Gotta love that!
