Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the tortellini cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked sausage to the skillet, followed by the cooked tortellini. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm everything through.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy your Sausage Tortellini Alfredo!
