Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 8 ounce package of cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 12 ounce beef sausage, diced and cooked to char the edges
  • 1 8 ounce jar garlic alfredo sauce
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, toss diced sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until edges are browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  3. Pour Alfredo sauce into a saucepan. Add milk to any leftover sauce in the jar; shake it up and pour into saucepan. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
  4. Warm sauce, stirring often to avoid scorching, over medium-low heat, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and tortellini, and cook just until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Ladle into bowls.
