I recently bought a Costco container of their tortellini when it was on sale. Cheese filled pasta; what is not to like?! I tried a few recipes and while they were good...they weren't "blog-worthy," which as of late is how TJ and I classify an amazing recipe. Well I was surfing Pinterest and I came across a cajun tortellini recipe with sausage that looked like it could just be "blog-worthy." I tweaked a few things, added a few things...and came up with this. SOOO good! It's creamy, spicy, cheesy, and meaty. To put it over the top and surpass "blog-worthy," it's a recipe that made all TJ's coworkers say "what is that delicious smell," when he took it to work the next day for lunch. I would say this recipe is a keeper!!
1 tsp olive oil
12 oz smoked sausage links cut into bite sized pieces.
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 20 oz cheese tortellini
2 green onions, diced
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper, and cook until soft. Add sausage, and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook until fragrant...about 30 seconds. Add seasoning; stir to combine. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth and bring to a bubble, add tortellini. Lower to a simmer and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and tortellini is cooked through. Top with green onions and more Parmesan cheese before serving.
