Sausage Tortellini Skillet Recipe

While I tend to follow a low carb lifestyle, every once in a while I begin to crave carbs in a bad way...and it's not pizza, it's not rice, it's not potatoes...it is PASTA that I crave!

There is just something about pasta that is so filling, so inviting - it's the ultimate comfort food! Pasta dishes are some of the easiest and quickest to prepare as well, and used to be a weekly staple in our home!

Why you will love our Sausage Tortellini Skillet Recipe

Tortellini are such a fun little pasta to cook with! Like this Tortellini and Sausage soup recipe, they are so delicious and filling! Of course, tortellini doesn't actually need a full blown recipe, as they are fine on their own with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

But they are so versatile and can be used in so many different dishes - like this yummy Sausage Tortellini Skillet Recipe!

Sausage Tortellini Skillet Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

NOTE: This recipe calls for COOKED tortellini, so cook your pasta according to the package directions while you begin this process. Most tortellini takes about 4-6 minutes to cook.

In a large skillet, add sausage, onion and garlic. Heat on medium heat until onion is translucent and sausage begins to brown, which should take about 5 minutes.

Stir in the chopped pepper and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Stir in the cooked pasta, oregano and 1 cup cheese.

Stir in pasta sauce and stir well. 

Top with remaining cheese and place into oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately!

This easy Sausage Tortellini Skillet Dinner serves 4-6, depending on the portion size.

TOP TIPS For making this Sausage Tortellini Skillet

Please note that you do have to cook the pasta before making this skillet dish. If you want to make this a truly one pot meal, you can buy the precooked tortellini that you can find in the freezer section OR in the dairy aisle where they have ready made fresh pasta.

For the best flavors, I recommend that you use a combination of red, yellow and orange bell peppers. HOWEVER - you can use whichever you like OR even omit them altogether. The flavor just won't have that bit of peppery kick to it.
