As you have know, we like quick and easy meals. We don’t like to spend a lot of time prepping and preparing dinner, so if you’re like us then you will love this one pot meal sausage and tortellini dish. It’s super easy to to make and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish!
Quick tip: I like to keep a bag of diced onions in the freezer. When I have leftover onion I just add it to the bag, so when I’m in a hurry I have it ready!
