One Pan Creamy Tuscan Tortellini
Ingredients
- 1 lb italian turkey sausage (option to use beef or chicken sausage)
- 1 tbsp oil (I used the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar)
- 1 shallot (small, chopped small)
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (more for spice)
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- salt (big pinch)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup dry white wine (I used pinot grigio)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup chicken broth or stock (low sodium)
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes (buy them pre-julienned)
- 10 oz tortellini (cheese filled, uncooked)
- 2 cup baby spinach (fresh)
- parmesan cheese (garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large pan to medium heat, add italian turkey sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add oil, chopped shallot, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until shallot is softened and spices are flagrant. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, continuously stirring so that seasoned veggies don’t burn.
- Add white wine, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and let deglaze for 2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes, add heavy whipping cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine then add sun-dried tomatoes. Bring mixture to a simmer then add the tortellini to the pan. Let pasta simmer covered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Once pasta is done, add spinach and cooked italian turkey sausage back to the pan. Simmer until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

This recipe is sooooo good! I did add more red pepper flakes because I love spice, but it was amazing!
This recipe is too good and toddler approved!
I love the idea of the recipe but how do I gauge what the portion would be? In grams, ounces or cups.
Cups! 1 cup per portion.
This was soooo good. I doubled the recipe to use it for a daily dinner. Like another commenter it would be great to know the portion size because I could see easily over eating with this.
Hi! 1 portion would be 1 cup pasta!
This was SO delicious! The white wine is *chefs kiss*
How do you know what portions to consume?
Based on what I’m seeing, this recipe is for the meal itself. Am I supposed to weigh my portion, is it one cup etc?
Hi! So sorry for the delayed response, 1 portion would be 1 cup pasta. I hope this helps!
