Creamy Sausage and Tortellini

Sharing one of our family favorites today! I feel like I've already shared most of our family favorites, like the best ever meatloaf or my drool-worthy chicken pot pie with a secret ingredient. But every once in a while, I'll come across a recipe that we've loved for years and wonder how I haven't shared it yet, like this Creamy Sausage and Tortellini recipe.

You can use whatever kind of tortellini you'd like.  I typically use spinach, cheese, or mushroom, or some combination of them (spinach and cheese, cheese and mushroom,...). The sauce is the best part anyway, so just choose whichever tortellini you like most, or think you could convince your kids to eat.

This recipe is beyond easy and beyond good. The hubby requests it all the time, only he calls it "that cheesy sausage pasta stuff." I like my name better, but whatever you call it, it tastes amazing.  Italian sausage and tortellini nestled in a creamy tomato sauce and topped with gooey mozzarella cheese. Mmmm...
