  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 15 oz jar Alfredo sauce
  • 15 oz jar marinara sauce
  • 19 oz frozen cheese tortellini
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Parsley flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and chopped onion. Cook until sausage is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in garlic, Alfredo sauce, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Add frozen tortellini and stir to coat. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until tortellini is heated through and tender.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top. Either cover until melted or place in a 400°F oven for a few minutes until bubbly.
  5. Garnish with parsley flakes before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  • Use fresh tortellini for quicker cooking.
  • Substitute turkey sausage or light Alfredo for a lighter version.
  • Add extra red pepper flakes or spicy sausage for more heat.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating gently with added liquid to loosen the sauce.
