Ingredients
  • 1 lb package of sausage
  • approximately ½ cup diced onion
  • 20 oz. package of refrigerated Tortellini or two small containers
  • 28 oz can of petite diced tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. salt & pepper
  • 3 oz of cream cheese (approx. 2 Tbs.)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • optional: green onions
Instructions
  1. Heat up a little bit of olive oil in a large skillet and cook the onion until soft.
  2. Slice up the sausage, add it to the skillet and cook for a few minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth, tortellini, tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir.
  4. Once the sauce starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. You don't want the pasta too soft.
