Creamy One-Pot Italian Sausage & Tortellini

If you’re anything like me, you want dinner to be easy, comforting, and not leave you with a sink full of dishes. This one-pot Italian sausage and tortellini checks all the boxes — creamy, flavorful, and ready in about 30 minutes.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

½ lb Italian sausage, casings removed

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 cups beef broth

¼ cup heavy cream

8 ounces fresh cheese tortellini

2 ounces garlic & herb cream cheese

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil, for garnish

👩‍🍳 How I Make It

I start by heating a large pan over medium heat and browning the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it’s fully browned, I remove it from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, I melt the butter and add the garlic, stirring just until fragrant. Then I sprinkle in the black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. This step smells amazing and really builds the flavor.

Next, I pour in the beef broth and heavy cream and give everything a good stir. Once the sauce is smooth, I add the tortellini and the cream cheese. I gently stir, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the tortellini is tender and the sauce thickens — about 5 minutes.

I add the sausage back in, stir in the Parmesan until melted and creamy, and finish it off with fresh basil.

Creamy, comforting, and all made in one pan — this is the kind of dinner that saves busy nights.

You’ve gotta make this. See you tomorrow!
