Ingredients
  

  • 1lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 2 cups Baby spinach
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 5 cups Chicken broth
  • 18oz Frozen Tortellini
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  •  In a Dutch oven, over medium- high heat cook and crumble the sausage and diced onions until the onions are softened and the sausage is cooked through, for about 8-10 minutes. Drain grease. Then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, and paprika stir to combine. Add the chicken broth and use a wood spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
  • Add the baby spinach and tortellini and simmer for 3-5 minutes. (If your tortellini needs longer cooking time, add the tortellini first, then the baby spinach during the last 5 minutes.) Add salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY!

Total Time 15 minutes
Course Main Course
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 18 oz Ravioli, we like the mozzarella cheese. You can choose anyone you like
  • 4-6 oz  Sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, grated
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp  Minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Boil your ravioli according to the package instructions and drain when they are finished. Add salt and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to your pasta water so that it does not stick.
  • While your ravioli is boiling, can start on the sauce. In a large skillet, over medium heat add the butter and let melt. Then stir in the Italian seasoning.
  • Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant. Add the chicken broth to the pan and simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and bring just to a boil, then keep at a simmer for 6 – 8 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  • Reduce the heat to low then add the grated parmesan cheese to the pan and whisk quickly to combine.
  • Stir in the sundried tomatoes. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently stir and spoon the sauce over the ravioli to coat them. ENJOY!

Notes

If you do not like sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute 1/2-1 cup of regular chopped tomatoes.
